This is a very interesting and informative book on pregnancy but it reads just like a text book. So, if you are looking for something with a great deal of information and don't mind reading something a little more heady this is a good choice.

Did no one else notice how the text repeatedly said a majority of the conclusions drawn, etc., we're not well supported or proven by research? How can a book be evidence based when it really isn't based on evidence?

Evidence-based.
