Pitchford, Paul
Amazon.com Used as a reference by students of acupuncture, this is a hefty, truly comprehensive guide to the theory and healing power of Chinese medicine. It's also a primer on nutrition--including facts about green foods, such as spirulina and blue-green algae, and the "regeneration diets" used by cancer patients and arthritics--along with an inspiring cookbook with more than 300 mostly vegetarian, nutrient-packed recipes. The information on Chinese medicine is useful for helping to diagnose health imbalances, especially nascent illnesses. It's smartly paired with the whole-foods program because the Chinese have attributed various health-balancing properties to foods, so you can tailor your diet to help alleviate symptoms of illness. For example, Chinese medicine dictates that someone with low energy and a pale complexion (a yin deficiency) would benefit from avoiding bitter foods and increasing "sweet" foods such as soy, black sesame seeds, parsnips, rice, and oats. (Note that the Chinese definition of sweet foods is much different from the American one!) Pitchford says in his dedication that he hopes the reader finds "healing, awareness, and peace" from following his program. The diet is certainly acetic by American standards (no alcohol, caffeine, white flour, fried foods, or sugar, and a minimum of eggs and dairy) but the reasons he gives for avoiding these "negative energy" foods are compelling. From the adrenal damage imparted by coffee to immune dysfunction brought on by excess refined sugar, Pitchford spurs you to rethink every dietary choice and its ultimate influence on your health. Without being alarmist, he adds dietary tips for protecting yourself against the dangers of modern life, including neutralizing damage from water fluoridation (thyroid and immune-system problems may result; fluoride is a carcinogen). There's further reading on food combining, female health, heart disease, pregnancy, fasting, and weight loss. Overall, this is a wonderful book for anyone who's serious about strengthening his or her body from the inside out. --Erica Jorgensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Amazon.com The first three editions of Nutrition Almanac sold more than 2.5 million copies. The 494-page fourth edition is expanded and updated, with new information to answer your questions and help you plan your personal nutritional program. "Nutrition is the relationship of foods to the health of the human body," explain the Kirschmanns (daughter and father), and they cover every aspect of how food relates to health. A detailed section on nutrients, for example, describes each vitamin and mineral, how it is absorbed and stored, dosage and toxicity, deficiency effects and symptoms, beneficial effect on ailments, and research findings. Another section offers 175 pages of common ailments and stressful conditions that may be related to nutrition, and which nutrients, exercise, herbs, and homeopathic remedies may be beneficial for each. A shorter chapter on herbs summarizes the medicinal uses of 70 herbs. The book also includes 73 pages of extensive nutritional information about common foods, showing how they help meet the RDA for each nutrient for both babies and adults. It is surprising in a book as up-to-date as this one that the authors choose to include height/desirable-weight charts, which are thought by experts to be outdated and irrelevant to health. Otherwise, this is a reference book you'll use often if you care about tracking and improving your nutrition. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Margen, Sheldon
From Booklist By the editors of the University of California at Berkeley Wellness Letter and the Wellness Nutrition Center, this is a welcome addition to consumer-oriented nutrition guides as an explanation of the importance of knowing what's in the foods we eat. Written in language that is clear and nontechnical, the volume is well laid out and easy to understand. Perhaps the most important information can be found in the opening sections, which explain the basics of a healthy diet, including the building blocks of nutrition, nutrient needs, 15 keys to a healthy diet, and how to read a food label. The text is divided into three sections. "Vitamins and Minerals" describes the individual nutrients and provides a list of leading sources of each. "Foods, General" supplies the nutritional values of whole fresh and nonbranded foods based on the USDA Handbook 8 used by nutrition professionals. "Foods, Brand Name" includes nutritional data that come from the manufacturers on a variety of brand-name products, including the offering of fast food restaurants such as Burger King and Domino's Pizza. The weakest section is the index, which seems to be missing subjects contained in the book, such as Wendy's. And readers may be confused by the fact that mineral and vitamin contents of foods in the brand-name section are given as percentages of the RDI (Reference Daily Intake, the information that appears on manufacturers' food labels), while in the other sections they are expressed in terms of an average serving. This volume is the only good alternative to the nutrition standard Bowes and Church's Food Values of Portions Commonly Used (17th ed., Lippincott, 1998). Although similar in cost to Bowes and Church's, this new resource seems to be more consumer-friendly. Neither volume does a very complete job of giving nutritional data for restaurants, but this information can be found for 37 national chain restaurants in Fast Food Facts (5th ed., IDC Pub., 1998). Overall, The Wellness Nutrition Counter is recommended for most libraries. As consumers become more health conscious, books of this type will become even more popular. The price is right for all libraries. A good popular selection. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Ingram From the editors of the UC Berkeley "Wellness Letter" comes a comprehensive, easy-to-use reference that takes the guesswork out of maintaining a healthy diet. The guide provides full per-portion nutritional information on 6,000 foods and a section on the basics of a healthy diet.
