Some things have changed regarding what is considered health since this book was written but alot of its suggestions are relevant and helpful! Good read and practical guide.

Even those who don't have blood sugar problems can benefit from this book. Your kids, grandchildren, neighbors' kids…. Covers cancer-food connections, metabolic syndrome, and more.

Colorful, practical and basic—basic can be very good since I need reminding of things I've learned.

Easy recipes. Entries for foods common to just about any produce section anywhere in North America.

Not sure if there is a more current version. If not, use sticky notes to 'update' portions and modify recipes.

It might be just what I needed to make my doctor very happy and keep me around a little longer, which is, of course, more important than my doctor's happiness. ;-) Very wuick read, great info, many recipes.
