Best ever nutrition book

I bought the original and this one in paperback and now online. It is my bible for all nutritional needs. I use it for each ailment, disease or illness and everyday life. I have recommended it to all persons. I think each person should have their own copy and maybe another to lend.

It's stuffed with a lot of information, and it would be better if it has been made like some sort of a book that fits the pocket or something like that; otherwise than that it's not bad to read it and pickup a fact or two just not to get scammed easily when you want to buy some vitamins.

There is no way to be 'finished' with a reference book.

That said, I have a deep appreciation for the comprehensiveness of the book. It lists the vitamin or mineral form that is most usable by the body—as well as its food sources.

Why not take iron with calcium? Why should thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2) and B6 be taken in equal quantities? This is stuff your doctors just don't have time to tell you. It isn't their expertise.

The cautions and cross reference with interactions bring to my attention There is no way to be 'finished' with a reference book.

The cautions and cross reference with interactions bring to my attention what prescribers might need to be involved in my choices, which is really all of my team of physicians.

I have eczema and have always been told it is related to stress. It is. I've observed that first hand. There are 11 references to eczema and underlying causes, other than stress.

Cravings? Covered to a degree. Vegetarian or vegan, got you covered.

I'm keeping this book forever—or until the next version comes out. And no, it's not in my lending library. *grin* ...more

This book is information overload. Actually, it isn't that there is too much information, so much as it is laid out in a quirky manner. To find a basic regimen for vitamins, one has to jump about halfway into the book and it is found under a chapter title that was not obviously what I was looking for. Not being a nutritionist, I cannot vouch for the quality of the information. The general information about the vitamins and minerals themselves seems to fall within the range of broad consensus.

Interesting, overwhelming and perhaps more anecdotal than not. He lost me entirely when he said that bodybuilders should be eating a diet comprised of 90% carbs, 10% protein & little or no fat. *snerk* Then came the credulous chapter on homeopathy. I can't recommend this, unless to someone already predisposed to believe in miracle cures. I'm certain that a lot of the information is very good, but there were so many red flags for me that I ended up not believing any of it.

A comprehensive guide. It covers a wide range of vitamins and explains each one in depth. There are also sections devoted to health issues and other relevant topics.

It's a book about vitamins (and minerals, amino acids, etc). It's an incredibly easy read- I read it cover to cover in about two hours. Highly reccomended if you are trying to get healthy.

Generally a good reference---I used some of the information in class.

I had an older release of this publication and used it frequently as a resource for whatever concerns I may have. My daughter recently asked for one after using mine while visiting. This purchase was a gift for her.Full Review

The first edition seemed to contain indepth information versus an overview on newer vitamins. Would still recommend this book.Full Review
