Customer Reviews
Over-advertised, deceptive, misleading and biased...
There are many false, outdated statements and biased concepts that are not scientifically proven. Misleading information can be dangerous for ignorant readers who seek help in this field. The authors should update themselves with all of the latest scientific research and findings from reliable sources and consider rewriting this book. The book title is good, only if the quality of the contents matches it. A good book should provide reliable and unbiased information and facts.
Shameful
Outdated facts, arbitrary topics, and a false populist tone fill this careless guide. Have the authors read any scientific or medical journal published after the Victorian age?
this book rocks!
This book is the terminator to false diets. It debunks your false beliefs about nutrition that have krept in over your life. One of the most important things i learned was over the last 10 years doctors have been taught tons about nutrition not the commonly believed 4 hours often heard from zealots. Don't expect nutrition to perform miracles. This book's strongest feature is it cuts through all the confusion, myths, and anything not tried and true by scientists. I think its a must have. Get this book and get on with your life and apply all that creativity to the rest of your life not your diet.
