5.0 out of 5 stars BABY BOOMER RESCUED, January 13, 2007

By	Kim Barrow "EARTHQUAKE EPI-CENTER" (Los Gatos, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Healing Powers of Vinegar, Revised and Updated (Paperback)

As a member of the aging baby boomer generation I've had to become much more health conscience. I ran across a few articles talking about the benefits of apple cider vinegar and decided to investigate it further. There are a number of books on the subject. Most were written as a cure all and lacked vital pieces of the puzzle. I wanted a book that took an in depth look at how I could treat the residual effects of eating processed foods for years - foods filled with processed sugar, high carbohydrate, and high fat,etc. I found this wonderful book that contains a full spectrum of information I found extremely timely and useful. I started drinking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis - the pounds and inches are melting away. I'm hooked! Moreover, I started to incorporate more of the Mediterranean foods -- fruits and veggies -- into my diet along with healthy smoothies in the morning and nutritious sandwiches at night with a splash of olive oil to keep heart-healthy. I highly recommend this book to people who want to improve their health and overall physical appearance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tell Me Something Good, February 16, 2007

By	Mark Jablonski "markjabo" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Healing Powers of Vinegar, Revised and Updated (Paperback)

Sometimes the best things for you are right in front of you. My grandmother and grandfather, who lived to be 95 and 102, respectively, were big fans of apple cider vinegar and used it in everything from coleslaw to home-made cold remedies. It was with a touch of nostalgia and a new-found respect for their wisdom that I read Cal's book and learned even more about the benefits of all kinds of vinegar. Having worked with Cal on another book (The Sky is Falling: A Global Warming Survival Guide), I know firsthand about her attention to detail and the warmth and concern that she brings to any topic. Those qualities help to make this informative, easy-to-read book a valuable addition to your home library. I can pretty much guarantee that this book will not only expand your appreciation for vinegar but also will become a much-used reference source for the many amazing uses of this natural healing liquid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Wine Vinegar, November 19, 2000

By	Gary Manuel (Oakland California) - See all my reviews

I was surprised that red wine vinegar has some of the same heart-healthy benefits of red wine. This is of special interest since I don't drink alcoholic drinks. I really like the natural health remedies that were in the book since I believe in natural cures. Great book and and a joy to read.
