Best "Superfoods" book on the market by E. Andersen (Los Angeles) 5 Stars
September 29, 2009
This is the best book on the market dedicated to superfoods. The information inside is worth a small fortune. Using a few of Bowden's recommendations have improved my health in a relatively short period of time. If we all used the nutrition in foods for our health, we would need fewer supplements and be less dependent on doctors.

excellent read by J. Carroll (Southern Highlands,NSW,Aust.) 5 Stars

Whilst convalescing after major surgery I went to [...] and first saw Dr Jonny Bowden. At the time I felt shut out from life and wondering if my recovery would be successful. Jonny Bowden's videos and advice cheered me immensely. Eventually I bought his book and no regrets. I have read it for the best part of a month and have appreciated everything in it. Our supermarkets nearby stock so much but we are "factory" fed and ingredients of many products may not be beneficial to us at all but are there for appearance and shelf life. The majority of the foods listed are actually nice to eat. Yes I know- I saw the quote long ago, "People who eat natural foods die of natural causes". But in between they must contribute to your well being. It is simply good nutrition. I would say this book is a favourite on my bookshelf. I was also lucky in that the used copy I bought was delivered speedily and happened to be personally autographed by Jonny Bowden. That was a nice thing.

Another Great Health Food Book by Patricia A. Lange (West Jordan, UT United States) 5 Stars
August 04, 2009
I usually like books with recipes. This one is an exception! A lot of these foods are great fresh anyway or require little cooking. The pictures are beautiful. I liked the "Expert's Top Ten" showing what the famous doctors, authors, etc. choose as their top ten healthy foods. Each section Fruits, Vegetables, Legumes and Beans, etc. are alphabetized. Very imformative and easy to read. I was glad to read that a lot of foods are very healthy that I have been avoiding. I'm sure moderation is the key , as with most anything. Eggs, liver, coffee and chocolate are not deadly foods! There are a lot of foods that are very nutritious though fattening unless used in moderation as in nuts of most kinds. Again, this was recommended by a friend and I combined it with another book to make free shipping. I think I got a great deal on Amazon.

150 HealthiestFoods in the World by Judith W. Kruse 5 Stars
June 13, 2009
I have found this book an indispensable reference for my meal planning, shopping lists and more, but I am a researcher of health issues and nutrition, and this book fills so many blanks for me. I have already given one to my sister who has Crohn's disease. She needs to eat the healthiest foods possible since she can have no grains whatsoever. She, too, has found it the most helpful book yet. It is written in such an interesting style you can't possibly get bored or confused. It is clear in its intent, and organized into readily accessable units for quick reference. I love this book. Judy Kruse

A mixture of Pseudoscience and Hyperbole by Jim Morrison (Hansville, WA) 2 Stars
June 10, 2009
This is a fun book to read and you will probably change your diet after reading it. Probably change it for the better. But make no mistake, Jonny Bowden is a salesman. He even sells many of the products he recommends on his website. He cites numerous studies that advocate the things he recommends and I give him credit for that. However, he does not cite the studies on the same products that don't show an effect, and he sometimes infers benefits that the studies he cites do not imply. I found a site on line where someone called him a quack because he was not able to ascertain where Jonny's PhD came from, and because an organization Jonny is associated with is know to endorse dubious health products or methods. Read it for fun. If you think this is real science you are fooling yourself.
