Review:

"Let Food Be Thy Medicine is an invaluable resource book that can be turned to time and time again. It will be of great benefit to both the professional health-care provider and the layperson." -- Elaine Nussbaum, nutritionist and author of Recovery from Cancer

"Let Food Be Thy Medicine is essential for everyone from parent to psychologist, doctor to dietitian, athlete to author, geneticist to gourmet, cancer researcher to cancer patient. The proof is all here. It is a book to give to members of our clubs, churches, schools, and to everyone. It is that important." -- Jane Quincannon, licensed nutritionist and consultant to the Ritz Carlton Hotels

"The two previous editions of Let Food Be Thy Medicine were useful. This revised, updated, and enlarged edition is a literal treasure. In the past five years, a health and diet revolution has exploded here and abroad. Alex Jack has been a keen observer and veteran participant in these changes. In this work he has summarized, indexed, and cross-referenced thousands of pages of experimental and clinical research. Sixty comparative analytical charts and tables are frosting on the cake. It provides practical, ready-to-hand and documented information. Don't miss it. It may save your life!" -- A. J. Lewis, Ph.D., LPCC
