review 1: This book was painful. It's like semicolons threw up all over the book, and not a single one was actually placed correctly. The bad editing and jumbled flow of the book made it really hard to get any quality information from the actual text. I expected there to be definitive instructions, like if you have this problem take these supplements, avoid these foods, etc. But the advice was all vague. Supplements are listed and they say what they might be good for, but it's never said if the reader should take all of them or just pick and choose the ones that sound good. (I actually emailed the author this very question and she responded that I could just take the ones that sound good to me. Very professional.) And while most of them have dosage suggestions, some did not. ... more The section that actually talks about different problems is all over the place. You might be reading about one subject, and all of a sudden you're reading about probiotics, and then it's back to the topic you were on. I had a lot of trouble getting any sense of flow from the book.I read an ebook version of this, and I know it was missing at least one chart that I could see in the Amazon preview of the book. The formatting of the text was not very good either. Obviously an example of taking a print book and just changing the format and calling it an ebook.So taken as a whole, I just don't think the few bits of good advice you might garner from digging through this book are worth the trouble of scarring your eyes reading such poorly edited material.
review 2: I found this book incredibly comprehensive in it's explanation of how our bodies use food sources, hormones, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. It was very helpful in understanding nutritional supplements as well as using food to optimize our bodies for health. Brief discussions on splenda and equal have turned me off to them for good (and working to get my family off them as well). A must read for anyone who wants to learn some great details about how our bodies work on food sources. In depth but not overwhelming, a book I know I will refer to again and again. less
