The book is not only filled with very specific and helpful information on foods, vitamins and minerals, but the great number of tables with nutritent values, percentages, cabohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other details proved invaluable in my own research. Michael's book is an extraordinary reference for anyone wishing to know how foods affect the body, why they react the way they do, what to eat to address specific health issues, comprehensive information about fat and its importance in the diet and which foods to eat as well as what to stay clear from for optimal health. Physicians would benefit greatly as well, although if their clients embraced the information in this book, they'd soon be seeing far less of them.Julie PechAuthor: The Chocolate Therapist This book is a must-have for anyone in the nutrition field and healthcare field. I would highly recommend it for consumers, health care practitioners, dieticians and especially doctors. The chapters are organized, well researched, documented with numerous supporting studies and the references are clearly ordered and easy to confirm.
I have recommended it to many, and as a nutrition major, I have to say it is a must-buy for anyone who wants to learn more about food and wellness. Wonderful to have as a resource for what we are eating on an everyday basis. Love this book.
The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods is in a very easy to read format that allows instant information to be at my finger tips. They always make me feel good.but alas, they are not good for me. This novel of wisdom also tells how to select, store and serve the different foods as well as the health benefits and history and that is not something you can get in most of the other healing food books. Healing Foods. Isn't that ice cream, hot chocolate and apple pie.

(My husband didn't want to eat cabbage. After hearing that, he said "give me a fork.") This book doesn't give you a lot of recipes, get another book for that. I've read many nutrition books on my quest to find a better way of eating. So, I made a cabbage salad and when he said he didn't want it, I just opened the book and read how GOOD cabbage is for you. But this book is a MUST if you are on the fence about what to eat for your long term health. This book gives a history, nutritional breakdown and the benefits of each and every fruit and vegetable. Once you read about how good each of these foods are for you, there is just no doubt that you MUST incorporate them in to your diet.
