Reviews:
The book is good except it makes you wonder why do we bother with it since the nutritional pyramid changed anyhow. It was great to find that book covered some healthy suggestion to lower down cholesterol (like different non-hydrogenated vegetable spreads, however, SmartBalance was not included for some reason). I guess next edition will cover all the changes that happened this year. Will this edition be worth reading again?!
