About The Nutrition Bible: The Comprehensive, No-Nonsense
Product Description There's a lot more to a healthy diet than "eating right." The Nutrition Bible deciphers today's complex nutritional datafrom additives and antioxidants to vitaminsupplements and genetically engineered foodanddebunks common nutrition myths. From Vitamin A tozingerone, the authors define and explain foods, nutrients, additives, pollutants, enzymes, hormones, and foodrelated diseases and deficiencies, and provide the latestnutritional information and dietary guidelines. At-a-glance charts supply nutrient counts for 1,500 major foods and beverages. This comprehensive volume also features slimmer versions of favorite recipes. Amazon.com Review Jean Anderson and Barbara Deskins have put together a food reference that is much more than just another calorie counter. From vitamin A, corn dogs, and durum wheat to flounder, nondairy creamers, and zwieback, the Bible covers more than 1,500 major foods and beverages, providing lucid descriptions of what the substances are, how they're used, and what they've got to do with your health. In addition, nutrient charts supply clear data on calories, proteins, and fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and a host of vitamins and minerals. But while this information is all presented lucidly and accessibly, it's also available in many other nutrition tomes. What makes this reference special is the fact that Anderson and Deskins include so many other health-related items. Acetone peroxide (a flour additive) and acne, Islamic dietary laws and hair analysis, morning sickness and parasitic worms, rashes and "smart drinks," sweating and urinary-tract infections--these health issues are all discussed, with up-to-date details on what the scientific community knows about causes and cures. There's an entry on stainless-steel cooking utensils, a recipe for butternut squash and snow-pea salad with sesame dressing and another for Portuguese pumpkin soup (with nutrition charts, of course), an essay on fasting, a paragraph on the inferiority of plastic cutting boards (as compared to wood), and a warning on the bacterial dangers of refreezing. Truly a bible for the '90s, the decade where health is the new religion and nutrition, diet, and fitness its holy trinity, The Nutrition Bible is a remarkably comprehensive, timely, and engaging resource. --Stephanie Gold About the Author The winner of five best cookbook awards (Tastemaker, James Beard, IACP) and a member of the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame, Jean Anderson writes for Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Cottage Living, Gourmet, More, and other national publications.
