Purchased this for a college class, has lots of useful info I will use for years to come!!
I had to purchase this for a college class. It is the only one of my textbooks I plan to resell immediately. The underlying message is carbs, carbs, carbs - even if they're refined, nutritionally devoid carbs. This book promotes MyPlate, artificial sweeteners, pasteurized skim milk and fruit juice, refined carbohydrates and sugar. If you believe those things are healthful, you may like this book.The sample menus are extremely lacking in phytonutrients from vegetables and sulfur-rich foods to help the body detoxify. If you want/need to avoid gluten, dairy, soy or refined sugar, the sample menus in the book will be of no help. Thus, If you have any food allergies or sensitivities or you want a more holistic, functional approach to nutrition that doesn't promote diabetes and brain deterioration, I recommend finding another book.
Expensive book! so expensive, but detailed, got it for class.
Exactly what I needed and it was like new.
