This book is fantastic. It was very hard to get my hands on as I have periodically scoured the internet for years to find it and finally did when the author’s website did a small reprint. I honestly would not recommend it in its entirety to the lay person unless there is extensive prior knowledge of the endocrine system. In other words, it’s not particularly accessible. I look forward to reading the author’s other book, Nutrition for Women, because (on flipping through it) it seems like a more accessible resource that I can recommend to others. Docking a star for how many times the author mentioned something completely fascinating to me and didn’t have a citation or another resource to further investigate. The book also could have been organized in a more efficient manner. For example, the final chapter titled “A Logical Diet” would have served the book much better as one of the opening chapters! I will say, the topical chapters at the end on seed oils, iron, coconut oil, and sunlight were some of the best concise essays on the topics that I have come across. Overall, I’m very glad to have this book in my library, and the knowledge it has afforded me will be sure to extend into my community.

consistent with the paradigm of big institutions not always laying the truth out in black and white in order to maintain existence.
