Product Description
A complete guide to the healthiest foods you can eat - and how to cook them! Why get your nutrients from expensive supplements when you can enjoy delicious, nourishing foods instead? From almonds to yucca, readers will find out what nutrients each of the 150 featured foods contains, what form contains the most nutrients, if it's been recommended to combat any diseases, where to find it, how to prepare it, and how much to eat - plus wonderful recipes using these sometimes obscure foods! Indexes by nutrient, by disease, and by food make finding what you need a snap, and the at-a-glance format makes the information as easy to digest as the foods themselves.

Fantastic book September 6, 2010 yelnif I bought it AGAIN because my husband somehow lost our first copy. It is like his bible. A great simple, easy reference book. Seems we look for something in it all the time.
150 Healthiest Foods August 17, 2010 NB This gift was given as a gift. Was shipped in a timely manner and in excellent condition.
Balanced, interesting, enthusiastic, but not dogmatic. An enjoyable read. July 29, 2010 David Trindle (New Hope, PA) This is an enjoyable read (you don't sit down and start reading from front to back, rather find an interesting section and read it, referring back later to other sections.)
It is unusual for a food/diet book to be balanced. The author always presents two sides of a controversy, and he refers to the input of many other experts.
It's unusual for an author to be so energized, enthusiastic about diet without pushing a narrow viewpoint, which so many authors do. They seem to stake out positions, and everything they write is mediated thru that dogma (no fat, high fat, low carb, no carb, vegan, etc., etc).
There is so much conflicting information out there, and incorrect information, and unsubstantiated information (like drinking 8 cups of water a day--no scientific basis, like eating 5 servings of fruit/veggies every day--no scientific basis) it's refreshing to hear from a positive, balanced, conciliatory voice.
We bought this book months ago, and still have it handy to re-read some of the sections, and try new things.
This book is worth the price if only for the healthy desert recipe he gives mixing frozen cherries with yogurt to make something close to ice cream but very heathful. It's also good if you use frozen blueberries instead of cherries.
150 healthy foods on Earth July 26, 2010 Jl Lofquist I am enjoying the book. However, shipping took entirely too long to arrive. Options should be given for faster shipping. Other than the shipping time, I am completely satisfied with my transaction.
Read before going grocery shopping July 17, 2010 Grace J. Marks (ABQ, NM) This is a no BS book about what kind of fuel we need and why we don't need others. It will remind you of why you love vegetables, in fact it might cause you to want to retry ones you previously hated. Read it before you go buy frozen ranch flavored powdered chicken wings with flourescent corn syrup sauce - you deserve better and this great book gives you the reasons why.
