    Since the book is over 20 years old, I am concerned that the information is now outdated. Does anyone have any comments regarding this issue?

    I feel the book has to much technical stuff bunch in together.. More just facts on different areas. Doesn’t tell you a specific diet plan. I didn’t find user friendly

    I read this book in college when I was suffering from colitis. I was able to get rid of that because Ballentine really helped my understand food chemistry in a straightforward, easy-to-grasp way. I’m 51 now, and this book has made a real difference in my life. I’m in really good shape–most people take me for mid ’30s. No wrinkles, relatively low body fat, etc. I think the reason why i always remember this book is that the basic understanding it offers about how the body uses food allowed me to see through fad diets and infomercials. If you understand what you’re eating and how your body uses what you eat you are in control of the biggest part of your health. This is really an sleeper of a book. Ballentine was a brilliant guy who cared about other people and had valuable information to share with us.

    This author writes with ease and a simplicity well understood by the average person. The content is however quite in depth and lacks very little in terms of information to the reader. Everything you ever wanted to know is in this book! Rudolph Ballentine is a credible, well written author and the only critism is the research and statistics aren’t a little more localised. Eg. Australian statistics instead of American.

    I first read this book in the mid 80s. I’ve owned at least 10 copies, I’ve given them all away. Now I need more. Sheds the light of simple truth on nutrition and diet, dispels fads, confusion and ignorance. Everyone who eats ought to read this book.
