This book is a must have for every health concious person. Not only it enlists the benefits and drawbaks of common fruits, vegetables and other eatables including cheese and chocolates, it also advices what to eat and what to avoid on various diseases. The book covers the complete nutritional details of food items.

This is not a one time read but can be used as a reference everytime when you need to be sure about some diet. Well researched and a thorough guide for safe and healthy eat

I like this book because it annotates the drawbacks of what are commonly known as healthy foods and herbs, eg garlic. I take garlic raw as an antiviral remedy but didn't know that it could induce migraines. It was helpful to find this out as I had taken it in quite large quantities for tonsillitis and ended up with a severe migraine. I like the illustrations in this book too.

I borrowed this book from my grandmother and never gave it back (with her permission, by the way). I can literally trace my interest in nutrition and natural healthcare back to this one book. (And now I'm a full-blown flexitarian!)

This may be the most looked at reference book I own. It's very nicely organized with simple references right underneath each listing. I always like to eat and read about what I'm eating in this book. It's fun and interesting.

Some interesting information. Worth checking out at the library and reading, but not worth owning in my opinion.
