Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
In this updated and revised edition of the out-of-print Pickles and Ice Cream (1982), the authors provide a thorough review of current research findings on prenatal nutrition. They include "quick quizzes" to assess nutritional knowledge; Recommended Daily Allowance tables and charts; and a useful chapter on the dangers of food additives, caffeine, and alcohol. While this book is for general readers as well as health-care professionals, it unfortunately tends to read like a textbook. Another pregnancy nutrition guide that is easier and much more fun to read while providing medical accuracy is What To Eat When You're Expecting by best-selling authors Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi Murkoff, and Sandee Hathaway ( LJ 11/15/86). An optional purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comprehensive account of nutrition for pregnancy, September 13, 1998
By A Customer
Very sound and accurate account of nutrition for pregnancy. Very concise and thorough in their discussion of each nutrient needed for pregnancy. Excellent discussion of special nutritional needs for vegetarians and diabetics. I would recommend this book to all my pregnant clients.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Reading...But..., August 20, 2002
By Donna S "Zachs Mama" (Alameda, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This book was interesting and informative... however I was disappointed because I was hoping for suggestions on sample menus and recipes.
I wanted it to help me get the nutitional changes by body needs during pregnancy.
The book tells you technically - nutrient by nutrient what you need... but I didn't find it to be translatable easily into my daily meal planning.
