Both informative and practical, Eat to Beat Disease explains the science of healing and prevention, the strategies for using food to actively transform health, and points the science of wellbeing and disease prevention in an exhilarating new direction.

Disappointed
There are some interesting points but I found nothing new or groundbreaking in this book. The author relies too heavily on epidemiology studies which are meant to develop theories not as proof or evidence. People surveyed in these studies routinely misrepresent or misremember their dietary habits. The author does point to several clinical trials and research studies where biomarkers where measured in response to an single food or molecules but far too few in my opinion.
