I just finished reading the book "God-given Foods Eating Plan". It is by far the best book on nutrition that I have ever read. I hated for the book to end. (I found the book by googling food and human growth hormone. My son is 15, a basketball player, and wants to grow taller, and I knew it was a bad idea for him to eat sugar right before bed, which is what he has been doing.)

The only books I read are nutrition books, and I have been reading them for the past 14 years. This book covers everything I have ever learned, but it also covers so many things that I didn't know, and I thought that I knew a lot. It is also very easy to read and understand, not only because of the author's personable writing style, but also in the way the paragraphs are broken up onto two sides of each page.

The most enlightening part of the book was on page 96, where it explains why cows are vegetarians. I always thought that advocates of vegetarianism had validity to their argument (cows only eat grains, and look at how healthy they are). But now I know that they eat that way because God designed them not to eat meat, so that they would be fit for us to eat. This information has increased my belief that there is a God!

This book covers just about everything and anything you ever wanted to know about what foods are healthiest to eat, and more importantly, the foods that God has given us to eat and enjoy. I love how the author uses scripture references and empirical studies to show benefits and health risks of various foods. Throughout the book he lists the healthiest foods, which has helped me develop my own nutrional program; I'm much more knowledgable now about why some foods are healthier than others. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting more knowledge and guidance on what should and shouldn't be the staples in a healthy diet.

Every once in a while a book comes out that would be funny if there weren't the risk that some people would take it seriously, as the other two reviewers here obviously did. Nutritional advice from the scriptures? Where did the writers of the gospels get their training in nutrition? If you want to know the truth about what you're putting into your body, leave this drivel alone and read a book that really understands the studies, such as The China Study.
