This review is from: Prevention's New Foods for Healing: Capture the Powerful Cures of More Than 100 Common Foods (Hardcover)

This book has a compendium of foods for weight loss, cancer
prevention, management of arthritis and a whole host of
health problems too numerous to list here. For instance, Vit. C
levels, Zinc, garlic and produce help with the common cold.
Did you know that olive oil is a good source of Vitamin E?
Foods to control diabetes are noted; such as, multiple servings
of fruits and veggies, high fiber, calcium rich foods and beans.
This book is a solid value for the price charged. It will be a good addition to your personal health library collection.
