review 1: An interesting book on nutrition and losing weight. So many books, so many calories, so many pounds to lose. Who is right, who is not, who knows. But one thing I can say is I learned some worthwhile things along the way in reading this.I am not overweight like most Americans but tipping my ridiculous government BMI number at 25, could stand to lose a few pounds. I exercise 5 to 6 times a week opposed to most which log 0. So I learned that might be behind my slight weight problem. After reading this book you will find aside from the subtle poisons the food companies have injected into most if not all foods they have engineered a very scientific and profit driven way to get food to stick to your ribs in pounds and fatten their own bottom line.One can get get carried away wit... moreh some of the ideas presented here as it borders on paranoia but there is no denying it is a serious health problem and no one else is going to do something so it is up to you. The book should help. If you make the changes. But I don't like the odds because most people have ingrained it into their lifestyle and are too prone to not give that up. And then there is fast food nation vying for your hard earned dollars. And they are succeeding in their way of at least decreasing the surplus population
review 2: I found Dee McCaffrey's podcast about a year ago, loved it, and started implementing small changes in my grocery store shopping - Dee got me to try cacao powder, rooibos tea, stevia, and a bunch of other healthy things that I now love and eat daily. I switched to a vegan diet about 3 years ago and had no clue how to eat well, relying mostly on those sneaky "it's healthy because it's vegan (not really)" processed meat and dairy substitutes, so now I have been working on switching to a processed-free lifestyle. I'm so glad that I finally decided to read Dee's book and get the whole picture, and I'm excited about using all of the scientific information that was packed into this book to make even more smart eating choices! less

This book has a lackluster writing style but it is it's "science" in the title earned my aversion.

Really good stuff here! Taking a break at page 95.

Informative even if it is a little preachy.
