Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you're looking for nutritional information on fruits and/or vegetables than this is NOT your book. The book does contain interesting information on the healing properties of myriad fruits and vegetables but most of it is based on anecdotal information (ie a "friend") although some studies are mentioned. However I do believe that the book does make an interesting read.

TONS of useful information from around the world on using fruit and vegetables in folk medicine.
I own the oldest edition of this book, had been using it extensively for many years. My only complaint was poor indexing. I have to keep literally dozen of bookmarks,or I might have problems finding useful articles again. So - 4 stars for the old edition because of that.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Diet fads are of no interest to me. Knowing what different foods will do to my body, however, is a subject I've loved to study and talk about. This book was marvellous because it fed my quest for more knowledge of foods, in particular fruits and vegetables.
Contained within this book is a treasury of probably hundreds of natural remedies and "health promoting uses of common fruits and vegetables". It makes a superb reference book, which I've turned to continually to find cures for warts, hair-loss and even the common cold. Almost any kind of malady is given a simple (and perhaps hard to believe!) remedy.
Heinerman has also done us the favour of making this book fun, packing it full of real-life anecdotes spiced with humour and not without authenticity. You may end up reading it just for the fun of it.
One slight unfortunate is that I found some of the remedies somewhat hard to follow. In some cases the explanation was slightly hazy regarding the exact application of the food. Nonetheless, the book remains a great read.
