Grenerally good book,
By Benjamin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Paperback)
I liked the presentation of the book. It has a list of all different kinds of foods and then gives the benefits.But, I am not giving this book 5 stars because there is some incorrect or misleading information. For example, the book says (page 8) that the per capita of eggs was 37 in 1909, but according to the Department of Agriculture the per capita was 292.8 (www.ers.usda.gov). That's a big difference! He mentions phytic acid, but he doesn't say what foods have them or how to deactivate them. (Phytates pull calcium, zinc, and magnisium out of the body. They are found in grains and seeds, and they can be deactivated by sprouting or soaking in water with some yogurt.) He writes that vitamin B6 helps detoxify estrogen out of the body, but he fails to say that only about 10% of vitamin B6 is absorbed from plant foods while about 100% of B6 is absorbed from animal foods (_AJCN_ 1988: 863-7). The ironic thing is that he says to avoid ALL animal foods (even organic) if one has an estrogen problem. I'm glad he says usable vitamin B12 is only found in animal foods. Overall, it's a good book. 23 of 27 people found the following review helpful

Nonsense!,
By A. Maffett - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Paperback)
I am just starting this book its a requirement for the school that I am attending. In the book he talks about Weston Price, and how cultures that consumed traditional diets containing whole, unprocessed foods had low rates of chronic disease. Then he goes on to recommend low-fat dairy which is homogenized and pasteurized. What really bothers me is that he recommends soy bacon, soy sausage, and soy hot dogs. I don't know about you but don't those sound like highly processed foods? He also recommends canola oil. This guy is a joke!

Easy to Read, Comprehensive Reference for the Lay Person,
By D. Delaney "imagedoctor" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Paperback)
Lots of pertinent information, clearly presented. The egg discrepancy may be a typo, but as a former proofreader, I'd say it's unlikely a work of this size won't have one or two...Over all, I'm impressed with the accuracy. I particularly appreciate the appendices in the back. The disease-specific prescriptions are great, too.
