Since becoming a mother, I have been increasingly interested in food and nutrition. While there are many informative books out there, this one takes us back to the basics.

We constantly read and hear about counting calories, increasing protein, cutting out fat, but have lost sight of their importance to our health. While books on diet tell us what to eat or not (in order to lose weight) and nutrition textbooks scientifically explain, "Let's Fuss about Food. Part 1: Our Core and More" de-mystifies the world of food and nutrition.

Written concisely with a touch of humor in a direct and unencumbered tone, this book equips us with the information we need to make informed decisions about what we eat.

Being easy to read and well organized, it is a valuable reference book for anyone's library; teens, young adults, parents, grandparents.

I am very excited about the next addition to the series which will move beyond the basics so magnificently covered in Part I.

I am in a very strange position to review this book, as the author is related to me. You will understand then that it was with some apprehension that I first read it, as I knew I would have to react to it. I was just enchanted to discover that reacting would be no problem. This book is an excellent investment. Joanna Lynn set out to demystify for the general public the discourse of dietitians and various other specialists and has done so with great success. The book is informative and well organised. Everything becomes clear : transfats, carbohydrates, cholesterol, you name it.The style is crisp and uncomplicated; the illustrations are entertaining; the quotations combine the useful and the funny. A book for all ages. A handbook, as pages are included for your notes and comments. A perfect gift, to yourself or for others.
