Summary: Too basic, too vague, too poorly written
Review: I don't have extreme food allergies and still found this book highly informative. Ms. Barra provides a lot of useful information in a clear, concise format. I found many tips that will help me make healthier choices at mealtimes. Bravo!

Summary: Allergies? This book can help
Review: In reading this book, I learned some things I hadn't known before. For instance, I didn't know a food could affect another food's digestion process.There are charts provided in the book, which the author has graciously allowed to be copied. These combined with the information in the appendices help to plan menus. Chapter summaries provide a quick reference, too. Along with personal experience, the author has obviously done her homework, though I would like to have references more directly connected with the text(footnotes, perhaps?). If you have suffered from food allergies this book's simple, concise read could really help.

Review: This book covers the author's struggle with food allergies and presents her years of experience in creating a rotation diet that allowed her to function in a world filled with artificial foods. Before I read this book, I knew that fast food hamburgers had too much fat or that my tapwater had flouride. But this book really opened my eyes to how pervasive food additives really are and how difficult it is to create a diet that eliminates these. The presentation of ingredients was helpful, since they are the foundation of proper menu building. I also wasn't familiar with the concept of rotation diets until I read this book. The principles and ideas presented are sound and helpful.

Review: This book is excellent for learning how to regain strong health, even if you don't have food allergies! A friend turned me on to it and I was fascinated to read about many little things that impact health that I never thought of before. For instance, different types of salt affect health differently. This book described what kind to look for to replenish your body's mineral supplies. Something else I never thought about is that picky eater kids really do like natural foods as they don't contain chemicals that kids can taste. I appreciated the many insights this book provided! It's truly useful and well thought out.
