Customer Rating:
Summary: Informative and Inspiring
Comment: This is a fantastic book about health and nutrition that truly impacts my eating habits and life!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nothing short of OUTSTANDING
Comment: This book is current, up to date, very matter of fact. I couldn't put the book down because it captivated my attention after I had read Green for Life by Victoria. WOW! I would advise anyone to read this book and apply the principles
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Missing an important component
Comment: Yes, these foods are good for you...and there are many more that are as well. However, many of the 'recipes' or suggestions are time consuming and require much mixing, boiling, daily shopping. Yes, the author provides references to canned, frozen and "healthy" pre-packaged alternatives, but I felt there was one glaring problem with this book: the author does not emphasize enough the dangers of sugar consumption. There are way too many refrences to yogurts, juices, etc. with minimal or no regard to sugar content. Some of the "shopping list" products have way too many grams of sugar per serving to be considered "healthy" regular choices. When was the last time you looked at the sugar grams in a measley cup of fruit yogurt? Try 27gms! Even Yoplait's blue label yogurt has corn syrup in it. For those of you who have been keeping up on the latest studies, sugar is quickly surpassing fats, salts, and lack of fiber as the most damaging element to our health. It wreaks havoc on our vessels, converts into triglycerides, lends to type 2 Diabetes, and is, unfortunately, found in almost every pre-packaged food known to man. Read your labels! In the author's list of "healthy" breads, he lists dozens that contain too much sugar. He does the same with yogurt, juices, frozen desserts, cookies, etc. Just because an item is processed "naturally" deosn't mean it should be on your shopping list. He should have emphasized fruit, fruit, fruit. Keep on eye on sugar studies. Although this book is a good starting point to improve choices for helthy eating, it should be accompanied by other books on busting sugar habits as well. Along with consuming more "superfoods", watching salt content and incresing fiber, take it from a reformed sugar junkie: watching your sugar content is the fastest way to drop pounds, increase energy, and improve your health & well-being.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Super Foods
Comment: Good information in the book, though some of it is a bit outdated. All in all, it is well written, easy to understand. I would suggest this to beginners who need a crash course in the power of natural food, or those just looking for an extra bit of information.
