Recenzii

"This book can be used as a filter for ‘junk science,’ which clutters many information resources and causes a lot of confusion among the public…the guide is a "go to" resource when trying to sort fact from fiction in response to the burgeoning nutrition information that is everywhere."
-Penny M. Kris-Etherton, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Nutrition, The Pennsylvania State University
 
"This is a nice reference for lay people and clinicians alike to have as
a starting point for researching certain foods for their impact on health.

-Amy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDE(University of Chicago Medical Center)
