I did pick up some neat tips- like eating nuts before an upcoming high fat meal, or how cinnamon on your morning meal can help regulate blood sugar. BUT, I REALLY hated the way this was written. I just want the tips, not the fluff. Also, sex, affairs and divorce, show up a lot in the examples and explanations. Why? Each successive reference I read, made me like this even less- I really don't care to read about sex toys in a health/diet book!

Update: This does get better as it progresses, more information, less strange and annoying references.

Here's the thing: it's all good information, it's mostly accurate, he's done his research, but it's both overly informative and reductionist. He tosses out references to a dizzying array of antioxidants in every other sentence. It's a lot for the average reader to keep up with. And yet, while reading through the list of recommended foods, he cites the same study at least four or five times in a row.

I get it: Eat more produce & whole grains, you lessen your risk of cancer & heart disease. Hasn't every health organization in America been saying this for decades? This is just another diet book, but the recipes are quite good.(less) "
