Well worth the price! by Just Terry (San Bruno, CA) 5 Stars
September 21, 2008
This is a simple, yet excellent book for someone who wants to improve their health with healthy eating and needs to learn a little about nutrition. The big surprise for me was that the recipes appear to be quite good. Usually when a book covering nutrition includes recipes, they are average at best. Although I have not made any of the recipes in the book yet, I have been cooking long enough to know that there are some very good ones included. I was very impressed that the authors took the time to include recipes that actually will taste good, and are simple to prepare as well as being nutritional. I can guarantee from my own experience that anyone who switches from the regular American diet of sugar-laden and fried foods to a healthy diet like this, will see a significant improvement in their health. This is the diet my children and I had while they were growing up. They were almost never sick while at home, except for a rare cold (less than once every three years.) Once they were on their own, the ones who continued this diet remained healthy and the ones who started eating the regular fatty, sugary diet of most people had their health decline. Now they are all back on the healthy eating and their health reflects it. And the food - it tastes great. Once you start eliminating fatty fried foods and sugar, you will wonder how you ever ate it in the first place.

AWESOME BOOK OF CURES, NUTRITION, AND HEALING FOODS by RBSProds (Deep in the heart of Texas) 5 Stars
September 19, 2006
Five HEALTHFUL Stars!! In this great compendium Jerry Baker's expert nutrition team, Karen Cicero and Colleen Pierre, shows that many foods can not only taste good and be the source of healthful nutrients, but have healing powers that many of us may not be aware of and can apply in specific cases of need. In an age when we hear so many individual news stories on the benefits of a particular food, it's hard to remember them over time. Now we have one place to look for many common foods available to us all that pack a nutritional punch and HEAL. Not exhaustive to be sure, but a great reference book nonetheless that outlines common foods that it claims can fight cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, osteoperosis, memory loss, etc. And the benefit cited in most of the listed foods is the #1 killer in the US: heart disease.
This book is practically a summary of the healing powers and cures of a wide variety of specifically targeted foods. In addition, there is a "Shop and Serve Solutions" area for each food with tips on selecting, storing, and preparing them. And there are 111 easy-to-prepare healthful healing recipes. It also has great tables comparing the benefits of the varioius types of berries, another table on the benefits of various types of beans, and yet another on the various types of oils.
I know that a well-known health newsletter held a "Healthiest Vegetable" contest and their tests revealed the "Sweet Potato" (no skin) is the king of veggies, so I checked for it first and it's here, along with a great 'sweet potato fries' recipe. Incidentially, "Raw Carrots" and "Cooked Carrots" (yes, listed separately) come in second & third respectively among veggies and they are likewise listed with a really simple "Sugar Baby Carrots" recipe. The rest of the health magazine top five are: "Spinach", and "Collard Greens" (a great fighter against cataracts and macular degeneration). And they are all listed in this book with extensive data on their benefits. So this book is on target in the comparison with the health newsletter's extensive research results.
Laid out in alphabetical order, literally from A to Y, with a 'bullet list' of what each food "Battles", what it "Bolsters", and a table of it's nutritional value (calories, fat, saturated fat, sodium, cholesterol, etc..). Naturally, the first food is "Apples", which "Battles" cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and stroke. Apples "Bolsters" (bowel) regularity. And so on, all the way through 117 foods to "Yogurt" on p 485. On p. 490, there is a "Super-charged Menus" list of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for 7 days using recipes contained in the book. Very practical! it's a very readable book that may have you looking at some rather common foods differently and stocking up on them because of their benefits. It did so for me! This book could vastly improve your health or unknowingly save your life!! Five HUGE NUTRITIONAL Stars!!
(Hardcover, 510 Illustrated pages with large type fonts.)
