A nationally recognized nutrition expert tells shoppers exactly what should be going into their carts.

The whole foods movement explained how to shop healthfully at the farmers market, but how can families shop smart at Wal-Mart? There is a wealth of information on labels, but most people have no idea that products labeled "trans-fat free" can contain trans-fats or that "all natural" is a meaningless phrase. Readers can bring this handy guide to the supermarket to help them interpret labels like a pro. How much sodium is too much? Are all carbs the kiss of death? And what does "organic" really mean? Renowned nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix clears up the confusion by showing readers how to make sense of the labels and sidestep tricky marketing ploys. She walks them through a typical grocery store and points out the best food choices to make in every aisle.

Review

“I could write a book about how to use food labels, but luckily I don't have to… Read It Before You Eat It by registered dietitian Bonnie Taub-Dix is a complete supermarket guide. Taub-Dix shares knowledge that can help you make better economic as well as nutritional choices—whether buzzwords like ‘free range,’ ‘hormone free’ and ‘antibiotic free,’ for example, are worth the extra bucks. Interesting, isn't it, that when food is ‘free,’ it costs a lot more.”—Sheah Rarback, The Miami Herald

Informative and Recommended!

May 27, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book will illuminate the fact that the food industry is LYING to us, every. single. day. It is a quick read, and if you are buying packaged food regularly, you really ought to read it... it's very insightful and I have found nothing else like it. It's a bit too vague at times, but I'm not sure I could fault the author for that so much as the actual lack of clarity when it comes to food labels and laws. I reference this book often. This book, like so many others, importantly reinforced how important critical thinking in daily life is. I'm not a fan of making more laws to control and suppress, I'd rather leave the power to the people to decide what to do... food included. But for that to work, we need to be well-informed about our choices. This book will leave you feeling well-equipped to make the best food choices.

Read a book; change your life!

Read it before you eat it

How often does a book change your life? I'm not referring to "reading for pleasure" for some books, fact or fiction, can make an impression. I am talking about a real life-changing book that is also a pleasure to read. Bonnie Taub-Dix takes what has been, until now, a dull, scientific way of teaching us to watch what we eat and you've probably tossed aside magazine articles telling you to read labels. Now she hands us an easy to follow, easy to understand, down-to-earth method of doing what we hate doing, and in just a few chapters she has us doing it with spirit! Her introduction to each segment tells us what to expect and her Fast Facts helps us remember what we should not forget. All right, I had one negative reaction (stay with me on this). I finally substituted sorbet for my much-loved Ben & Jerry's. But wait! That negative turned into a real positive when my doctor was delighted with my "numbers." If you've been putting off making the necessary changes in your eating habits, please READ IT BEFORE YOU EAT IT and come along with me on an easy trip to better health, with a weight-loss bonus.
