《书目》(Booklist)书评
A great deal of up-to-date research went into this guide to treating health needs through a nutritional approach in terms of general prevention and in the care of existing conditions. An alphabetical listing in the first section focuses primarily on medical conditions, then the author proceeds to recommend foods chosen for their medicinal properties. Section two is a comprehensive encyclopedia listing specific daily values (amounts of calories, fat, sodium, vitamins, and minerals) for both brand name foods and generic fresh, frozen, and canned foods. Sonberg effectively presents the material so that readers can access information geared toward implementing a diet based on personal needs. --Alice Joyce
《图书馆杂志》(Library Journal )书评
With the assistance of consulting editor Maureen Callahan, M.S., R.D., Sonberg (The Complete Nutrition Guide, Berkeley Pub., 1993, and other mass-market nutrition books) offers this two-part guide to basic foods as medicine. Part 1 consists of 207 pages of discussions, arranged alphabetically, 29 health conditions or concerns and foods that aid in their prevention or amelioration. Part 2 includes 340 pages of nutrient composition tables, based on Department of Agriculture (USDA) food tables and manufacturers' information for 8000 foods, including fast and processed foods. In general, the information presented is accurate; however, an occasional misleading statement does occur, e.g., hemorrhoids are described as a "bulging of the muscles inside and outside the rectum" (veins, not muscles are involved). There is a glossary, but chapter bibliographical references are uneven in their currency. (The index was not seen.) While the concept here is a sound one, the book is more akin to a basic nutrition text than a compendium of foods and their pharmaceutical properties. Readers looking for books on that specific subject would find more informative Jean Carper's Food-Your Miracle Medicine: How Food Can Prevent and Cure over 100 Symptoms and Problems (HarperCollins, 1994) and The Food Pharmacy (Bantam, 1989). Recommended for general stacks in collections weak in basic nutrition texts.-Cynthia D. Bertelsen, Blacksburg, Va. (c) Copyright 2010.
