The celebrated clinical nutritionist, author of the internationally bestselling You Are What You Eat, and host of the BBC America show of the same name offers a comprehensive and fully illustrated guide to the health effects, uses, and benefits of the foods we eat and how nutrition affects our general health, aging, ability to fight disease, and quality of life.

For example:
· Almonds can assist in weight loss.
· Wild yams help promote fertility.
· Berries, spinach, romaine lettuce and broccoli combat dry skin by stimulating oil and collagen production.
· Tomatoes contain an antioxidant that can help prevent cancer.

 Great book, some holes March 13, 2010
G. Hoskin (Long Beach, CA)
Pros:
-Excellent book if you're looking to rebuild your diet and how you think about food. I bought it several weeks ago, have changed my entire diet, and feel great.
-Gillian makes some great points as to why vegetables should be at the base of the pyramid, and actually rebuilds the entire pyramid.
-The "How to Cure What Ails You" section is backed by sound logic, look forward to eating some great food.
Cons:
-Stages of life section can be more developed. As a 22 yr old male, the only section that applied to me was how to increase my sperm count and become more fertile. At this point of my life, I'm looking for foods that will help me to be at my best in school and sports and am fine in those other areas..
-Many foods are repeated throughout the book. Either they really are miracle foods or Gillian needs to expand her food knowledge.
Bottom Line:
For your money, Food Bible is a great investment. If its not at your local library yet, buy it. If it is at your library, buy it anyway as you will probably like to reference it throughout your lifetime.

Love this book! I would recommend it to anyone who is sick of wasting money on expensive perscriptions. I know that sometimes it is necessary to take persciptions drugs, but a lot of illnessess could be avoided if we'd just eat correctly.
