Customer Reviews

Excellent, good resource to have...

The book is very good, it's an excellent resource for nursing students or even graduate nurses. I highly recommend it.

For nutrition's sake, keep this book next to your stove.

This book is much better than its reviews would suggest and is indeed essnetial reading for anyone concerned with nutrition and ways to eat more healthily in today's toxic world. We lve surrounded by poison. Or maybe a better way to put it is, there are a few wet green grapes in the barbed wire or today's fast-food paradise. And thia book teaches you how to go for the gusto. Rodwell Williams is a very good writer and I wish someday she's write a book of recipes based on her background in nutrition, which is unusually extensive. Some people just like to cirticize because she uses findimgs from the 80s, but they forget the 80s were a great time for discoveries in this vital field, and that a lot of the information, although supplemented since, has not been bettered nor contradicted. So, the next time you're standing there next to your stove with a handful of radishes in one hand and a pound of arugula in the other, head for this book and turn it to the chapter on vitamins to discover what you're missing; then add it; then you'll be in fitness heaven. As for the so-called "therapeutic" benefits of this book, I wish there was a TV show like The Apprentice, but instead of Donald Trump there would be Sue Rodwell Williams giving us the benefit of her advice, and as an added bonus, there wouldn't be that constant refrain (so hurtful) of "You're fired" either.
