Summary: An essential guide for raising healthy children
Review: This book is a wonderful aide for parents who want to give their children a start in a health conscience lifestyle. It is a not a book to be read and put away, it is a constant companion to accompany you through each age and stage of a child, even when they are no longer a child! The best book to give or buy for yourself.

Summary: Every family should have this book!
Review: This book is the foundation for good health in children. I agree with everything he says, except keeping children on dairy products. Dairy products can cause lots of problems in children. Otherwise, this is an exceptional book.

Summary: a good reference tool for child nutrition
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend, and I really like it. I have used it to change the way I feed my child, and myself. I have noticed a significant difference in my 18 month old son's health verses other children his age. He has never had an ear infection and his colds don't amount to much. But I am also making these changes for his future healthy immune system as well. I refer to this book often, it's not a one time read. It also has recipes that incorporate the healthy foods that they recommend you feed your kids. I also like the book, because it's not a weird "guru-type" nutrition book. These ideas for a healthy immune system are just a healthy lifestyle for EVERYONE...not just the "health food nut". This book is a good reference tool if you are interested in making a change in your child's overall health and well being.

Summary: The best!
Review: This is by far the best book I've read on children's nutrition. Dr. Galland combines good sense with good science. My children's behavior and immunity have much improved since I began to follow a whole foods aproach to their diet. Dr. Galland makes it easy to understand the relationship between diet and good health. He doesn't merely suggest the foods to be avoided and included, but helps you to plan out meals with the help of recipes and quantities of foods and EFA oils. A must for the private library of any parent!

Summary: Amazing book
Review: We were given this book as a gift for our son shortly after he was born. He is 3 and has been on antibiotics since day-one due to kidney reflux. We have used this book as a guideline for his nutrition from the very first. It helped us solve much of that early "colic" crying (i.e. - any crying doctors can't explain) by adjusting my diet while breast feeding him. It has also helped him avoid many of the millions of ear/sinus/chest infections most babies get. He's probably only had about 2 colds and they were short-lived due to nutritional changes suggested by this book. It has helped us keep him healthy while taking daily antibiotics (which can wreak havoc with your system even while helping you). Best of all, he thinks fruit is junk food and loves veggies. We actually couldn't get him to try cake or icecream at his 3rd birthday. He's had next to no processed sugar in his life. Our son eats better than we do! We are very thankful we had this guideline to help us get him on the right track early on so we didn't have to wrestle a toddler away from typical American "nutrition".
