Summary: Should change the name
Comment: This book is about half the size and has about half the information contained in the fourth edition of book with the same name. Get the fourth edition from the same publishers...get much more value for your dollar...and your health!

Summary: Is there science hiding in here?
Comment: I bought this book based upon the Amazon reader recommendations I found here. Now I feel obligated to set the record straight.
While parts of this book are thorough, with lots of hard numbers [though it's difficult to figure out what they mean in a practical sense, and the charts are not lined to assist in their reading], it is also riddled with new age foolishness as directly presented as fact as RDA recommendations -- including homeopathy, aroma therapy, etc. The book's organization leaves me with questioning its entire content. It is also not nearly as complete as I might have hoped in listing nutritional content, leaving out more unusual fruits and vegetables, and glossing over different cuts of meat as largely the same.
It also gives far out of date [at least 20 years?] recommendations for treatment of various diseases and maladies. The treatments I'm aware of, again raise questions about the others.
I will continue my search for thorough -- and scientific, a.k.a. proven, not just testimonial and/or based upon one flawed study -- nutrition elsewhere.
Rating: 5
Summary: Authoritative, unbiased nutritional information
Comment: What I like most about the book is the fact that the author is totally unbiased. He is not trying to sell a diet plan or food supplements or promote anything except solid facts. The author provides detailed tables, charts, etc. on nutrition and health which you can incorporate into your own personal health plan. As a bodybuilder, I found this data valuable in planning my workout routine as well as my nutriitonal plan. If you're looking for sound information on nutrition minus the myths and sales talk, this is the book for you.
