4.0 out of 5 starsGood Resource Tool
By D. Anderson on March 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
We have been using this book with Sonlight Curriculum this year. My children range in age from 6 to 12 years old. The book at times is too difficult for the 6 year old and too easy for the 12 year old, but in general it has been very useful. The chapters are short and difficult concepts are clearly explained. My children are alwys excited to get to the activity section of each chapter, but are disappointed about half the time. The 'activities' usually always work, but they are not always very fun or interesting.

1.0 out of 5 starsThe Un-nutrition Guide for Children
By J. Hagstrom on September 11, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The Unnutrition Guide for Children - this book contradicts so many nutritious information that we have practiced in our family that has led us down a healthy road of good nutrition where we have no colds anymore or doctor's visits.

About sugar - The kids are told to stay away from honey, and rather to consume sugar. Honey has so many health benefits, while sugar deprives the body of nutrients. While I don't eat sugar, she goes on to say that refining sugar means that you take out the impurities, when refining sugar actually takes out what little nutritious material exists in the sugar. Worse yet, she recommends fake chemical sweeteners to prevent dental caries. Chemical sweeteners are so toxic, how could anyone recommend them to a child?

She tells the children to only drink pasteurized milk, when raw milk provides healthy bacteria and enzymes that assist with digestion. My husband grew up on raw milk and passed up both of his parents in height. They had five children and none of them got sick off of the milk.

Flouride - she recommends the use of fluoride in drinking water. Toothpaste tubes have a warning that the user should not swallow the toothpaste, because of the fluoride, which is toxic. Why would someone choose to swallow fluoride in water?

This book is not about nutrition. This book has some science to it, which we will go through and use what we find to be truthful and helpful, but any parent would want to guide their children through this and help them to pick and choose what to learn from.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Introduction To Food and Nutrition for Kids!
By K. Alphs on January 4, 2007
Format: Paperback
This is the second Janice Van Cleave book I have purchased for our homeschool and I LOVE it!

Our family utilizes the Sonlight homeschooling curriculum but our child keeps begging for "more science" so I purchased a copy of "Food and Nutrition for Every Kid."

This book is divided into twenty five chapters which cover the subject of nutrition from "Why Water is Essential to Life to How to Make Food Last." At the beginning of the book Janice has written an introduction to share with you how to utilize this book.

Each chapter contains "What You Need to Know, Exercises, Activity (which is a science experiment) and Solutions to Exercises."

This book provides you with a complete hands on science curriculum which is fun for both parent and child!

5.0 out of 5 starsThis series never disappoints.
By Clifford on January 30, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
These books are really enriching our lives and experiences with our grand kids (13 of them, ranging in age from 4 to 16). We wish we'd had them when we were raising our six kids.
Just plain fun, and we're all (even steeped-in-science veteran OB/GYN Grandpa) learning a lot.
Kudos to the author!

3.0 out of 5 starsNot bad, but very simplistic
By Amazon Customer on April 9, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this for my 12yo, and we found it too simplistic for her. I would say this is a decent book for kids ages 5-10, perhaps. The experiments are quick and easy to do. Another complaint is that since this was copyrighted in 1999 (I believe) they use the "old" food pyramid which has grains and carbs at the base - our family doesn't follow that thinking, so we had to discuss it each time that came up.
