5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for persons interested in real nutrition!!, November 3, 2008

By	careful reader (mountains of eastern usa) - See all my reviews

I can't say enough good things about this book. I had read alot of books about nutrition and wanted to seriously have a healthy pregnancy as well as a healthy baby.
I used this book every day during my pregnancy and wrote down everything that I ate, tabulating necessary grams of protein, carbohydrates, iron, sodium, vitamin K, etc. As a result, I learned an incredible amount and debunked many myths as to what nutritional value is or is not in many foods. I am ordering this book again, as I loaned it to someone and it "walked away." (That's alright--hope they got much benefit from it.)
I love this book because I could not find ONE source out there that listed all the federally mandated information about the foods we eat--they all seemed narrow in their focus, not broad in scope. This book really is complete. About the review from the other reader who said it is outdated: It could probably be due for an update, but the general basic nutrition information about foods does not change that much if at all. Today, with access to the internet, you can double-check to see if there are any updates on a specific food, if you want.
This book can also help you find other good foods to choose to eat that you might not normally think of.
Anyway--bottom line--I had an extremely healthy baby that grew up into a really healthy teenager. Nutrition really does matter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, December 7, 2007

By	Jr Jonnum - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was old, out of date and not much help. I gave it to the local thrift shop.
