SUMMARY: INCOMPLETE, NOT AS ADVERTISED & NOT HANDY, By
This review is from: The Dictionary of Sodium, Fats, and Cholesterol (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is very disappointing because it is more a work-in-progress than a finished book (even though this is the "Totally revised and updated! 2nd Edition," according to the cover.) Each page consists of a list of items in alphabetical order. To the right, the top column headers are: "Measure or Quantity," "Sodium (mg)," "Fats in grams," and "Cholesteral (mg)." Beneath the category "Fats in grams," there are three sub-categories: "Total," "Saturated" and "Unsaturated." This is a great start. Too bad there are many, many incomplete entries, half a page and more, time and again. Items may show nothing more than the content of one category, such as sodium, with no fat content nor cholesteral shown at all. This is not because these are "zero" sodium or cholesteral items, but because the entries simply are not there. The book is a large-sized paperback, with much of the size resulting from blank space on the pages between entries. It measures 6" wide by 9" tall and 1" thick, so it will not fit in an ordinary purse or coat pocket easily. It is not a very handy reference to carry along to lunches, dinners out, or shopping. It also does not have a calorie count. All in all, it just isn't very useful. There are much better, more comprehensive and handy-sized food references available, such as The Complete Book of Food Counts by Corrinne T. Netzer. You can buy Netzger's much better and complete reference from Amazon.com.
