Missed a major inflammatory food group!,
This book starts out great with the discussion of how food can inflame the body with an unbalanced intake of omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids. However the authors must be unaware that all grains, legumes and most seeds have a 20:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 making them inflammatory. Several recipes in the book are then inflammatory because of the grain. This is a tough pill to swallow but it appears that the human genome functions better with a balanced 1:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids and this genetic trait was in place before agricultural practices which led to grain consumption and more recently seed oils which are very inflammatory. Foods consumed prior to agriculture would have been fruits and vegetables, wild game, fish and moderate portion of nuts. Ironically all these foods have a well balanced ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Go Paleo!!

|a bit deceitful,
Although there are good recipes in the book, I am amazed the authors endorse the use of canola oil and margarine. Canola oil comes from the rape seed, which is part of the mustard family of plants. Rape is the most toxic of all food-oil plants. Like soy, rape is a weed. Insects will not eat it; it is deadly poisonous! The oil from the rape seed is a hundred times more toxic than soy oil.
Canola is a semi-drying oil that is used as lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base, and as an illuminant for the slick color pages you see in magazines. It is an industrial oil and does not belong in the body!
Margine is a synthetic food and a hydrogenated oil. Loads of literature to support eliminating it from your diet.
I use the recipes but make substitutions.

|Informative Book,
I learned so much from reading the information about nutrition that Rowe and Davis share in this book. The recipes are delicious and easy to follow, and the illustrations are enticing. I’m looking forward to trying more of the recipes and learning to incorporate healthy foods in my everyday meals. I strongly recommend this book.
