This review is from: The Healthy Wholefoods Counter (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a great guide for anyone, whether it's someone looking to eat healthier or an expert who wants the latest research translated into the best everyday food choices. I love how I can pick it up at any place in the book and don't have to read the content from start to finish. It's easy to understand, accurate and provides details like what you need to know about buying organic, foods with the highest antioxidant or best nutritional value, and the real scoop on eating right for life. I use this book when teaching, recommend it to my students because it's easy to understand, but most importantly I use it as a helpful source to keep me and my family healthy. I have the Diabetes Carbohydrate & Calorie Counter -and that's a great book too!
