This book consists of quite a few tables of foods and their nutritional makeup. For example, suppose you decide you need more chromium in your diet, or more iron. There are tables that list foods and the amounts of these nutrients per food.
This is a very handy reference for health professionals, holistic practitioners or anyone who is concerned to optimize their diet, especially for various medical conditions. Dr. Zeng has a background in nutrition and pharmaceuticals and has produced an exhaustive reference. I haven't seen one like this where you can figure out how much of what to eat or drink to achieve certain nutritional goals. There is also a section on Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity, or the capacity to generate free-radical scavengers. We know red grape juice, pomegranates, and apples have these scavengers, but...how much do they have and how much do you need?
Anyone interested in nutrition will find this book a vital reference. I was amazed at the depth of information and how well-organized it is.
