Summary: For Vitamins, Look No Further
Review: Vitamins are organic substances necessary for life. They act like spark plugs to regulate your metabolism and keep your body well tuned. The book is well-reference so you can find information by vitamin, by illness, by lifestyle.Some tidbits from the this book: 1) American men rank 13th in world health, American women 6th. 2) Vitamins cannot function without minerals. Although your body can make vitamins, it cannot make minerals. 3) Eighty percent of American women are deficient in Calcium. 4) The average life expectancy between smokers and non smokers is 18 years. 5) You can lower your risk of stomach cancer by eating an half onion a day. 6) When taking vitaminsit is best to space them out as far as possible for the maximum absorbtion, preferably after meals. 7) One cigarettes destroy 25 - 100 mg of vitamin C. Smokers should take vitamin C. 8) For calcium to be absorbed by the body, there must be vitamin D. 9) 1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories 10) Great way to exercise that burns more calories than bicycling, tennis, and swimming - JUMPING ROPE. A 150 pound person will burn 720 calories jumping rope for 1 hour.

Summary: Excellent.
Review: Well organized. Very useful for all types of inquiries about what vitamins to take.
My only issue is that it recommends aspartame at one point.
