Great book on nutrition. It gets a bit redundant by the end, hence the 4 stars. Fuhrman's books are a big eye-opener. He goes into great detail (w/ footnotes on the latest scientific studies) on what you already know - that your fruits and vegetables are the healthiest foods and that sweet, salty and fatty foods are bad for you. He then goes on to tell you what you don't know about nutrition but should. It's as shocking as Campbell's The China Study to the sensitive and obese ears of the American public. This book (or anything authored by Furhman) is not for the weary or those addicted to the Standard American Diet (SAD). What does come through is Furhman's dedication to a diet of nutritional excellence, which he has distilled down to the equation of H=N/C (Health = Nutrients divided by Calories). Definitely worth the read if you're interested in getting healthy.
My doctor had been threatening to put me on medication for my high cholesterol. The only help she offered was a sheet of paper with food to eat on one side and food not to eat on the other side.
I decided to research how to lower my cholesterol naturally on my own and discovered Dr. Fuhrman's book which was a big help. The book give instructions on what to eat/not eat and guidelines for the quantity to eat. I found the book very helpful and informative. I then purchased Dr. Fhurman's book Eat to Live which was a big help
