Reviews for The A-Z Guide to Food as Medicine, Second Edition

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) 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.
