Author is the founder of the nutrition department at Harvard Univ., Boston. Discusses the hype surrounding nutrition. Uses dietary principles and scientific evidence to steer consumers clear of quackery and toward the basics of healthy eating and sound nutrition.
The authors help the reader to develop a more balanced view of eating. Much of the information they present will be familiar to most readers. However, the book will help readers to identify the mainstream views of doctors and nutritionists, to justify those views and to apply them. This removes the confusion resulting from the proliferation of "fringe" diet books.
