Never have I seen a book on nutrition so helpful and packed with information. This is wonderful for a person who wants to be aware of what they are eating and how it'll affect their health.

It is all in alphabetical order, with foods and conditions such as eating disorders, cancer, acne and more. Each food article contains "Benefits" and "Drawbacks". The common diseases and conditions have "Take plenty off...", "Cut down on...", and "Avoid..." with their articles. Each article shows the basis of the food and the disease. Throughout the whole book there are sections between the A-Z directory of all sorts of common foods/nutrients/conditions such as "Organic and Health Foods"; "Minerals" & "Stress". To finish off, there is a glossary and a "Helpful Organizations" list.

This book is worth more in information value then it's price value. It is like a nutrionist in your house. It is great for cooks and general people are concerned/interested for various things. It is jam packed and it is worth a good look.

This book give detailed information about many foods we all consume. After reading this book you may want to avoid certain foods or eat more of others. I have seen a few similar books, but they are not as extensive as this one.

Research is 75% of what we do, and this book is worth the read

I ORIGINALLY READ THIS BOOK AT MY PARENTS HOUSE ABOUT 2 YRS AGO AND COULDNT PUT IT DOWN.IT HAS SO MUCH USEFUL INFORMATION.IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THE NUTRIONAL VALUE OF FOODS YOU EAT.

After three years of doctor visits, with no relief, for severe leg & foot cramps, this book solved my problem. Caffeine can decrease the circulation to muscles. Simple, yes. After suffering from near debilitating cramping for years, giving up caffine was a minor inconvience, but one that I might never have known about without Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal. This book has page after page of simple, common sense cures, aids, and ideas that can save you many hours of discomfort, add years of healthy, productive living to your life, and bring the zing back to your step. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, from Acne to Zwieback, from "Pregnancy" to "Aging and Diet", in a format that makes finding your topic easy. Each item is discussed in easy to understand language. Each food is discussed, and has a list of "Benefits" and "Drawbacks" along with vitamin and mineral content. All in all, it is an excellent investment in your future health and well being.

Plenty of nutrition books are on the market, but this differs from competitors in gathering not one person's opinion, but the contributions of over 300 nutritional experts worldwide, cross-referencing foods and nutritional advice with ailments and wellness concerns. An A-Z listing by both food and health concern makes it easy to cross-reference either
