review 1: If you know anything about nutrition (i.e., you're smarter than the average American) you're going to be bored senseless by this book. There's nothing new here. It's all very standard, and the book could be boiled down to one sentence: Eat whole foods. Additionally, the narrative of all of her so called 'encounters' with locals of various countries doesn't ring true. They seem either entirely made up for the purposes of this book, or so largely changed from reality that they may as well have never happened.If you have no idea about food, what you should be eating, in what state you should be eating it, etc. this book may not be a bad starting point for you. It's incredibly simple, you won't be overwhelmed by technical jargon.
review 2: Written by a San Fra... morencisco physician and nutritionist, this book takes an in-depth look at the diets eaten by people who live in disease "cold spots"; areas of the world that have a lower than average rate of particular problems like heart disease, breast/testicular cancer, and diabetes. But rather than writing another "diet book," Dr. Miller discusses what is good about those diets, and how you can incorporate those good bits into your own eating plan. Plus, there are some yummy recipes included as well. Recommended. less
