It's time to debunk all the myths about foods we want to eat. 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, Revised Edition delivers facts on foods; no spin, no agenda. In this newly updated nutrition reference guide, acclaimed nutritionist and bestselling author Johnny Bowdon debunks traditional food myths, saves the reputations of foods long suffering bad publicity, and provides just the facts -- so you can make good, health-conscious decisions about which foods you and your family should eat. You' ll learn the latest research on many of your favorite foods, as well as some surprising new findings on the health benefits of foods you may have been avoiding unnecessarily. Did you know that according to research:
Saturated fat does not cause heart disease?
Full-fat dairy may protect against diabetes?
There is no need to avoid meat if it is one hundred percent grass fed?
There is a major difference between farmed salmon and wild salmon?
No food provides everything. But real food -- whole food with minimal processing -- contains a virtual pharmacy of nutrients, phytochemicals, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and healthful fats, all of which keep you alive and thriving. Learn how easy it is to find "real" food and discover what more than a dozen well-known nutrition experts say are their "top ten" healthiest foods on earth.

I liked the title of this book, and I am always on the lookout for healthy, good-tasting food. Restaurants have flavorful dishes; but a lot of it is buried in sauces and fatty ingredients, so I choose carefully. I was pleased to know that a lot of the food I keep at home is on this list. At any given time, my refrigerator is filled with fruits and vegetables; some cheeses, and nitrate-free meats. I am very careful about what I eat.
But this book added so much more to what I already knew. Being a person who really doesn't like avocado (sorry, I just don't), unless it is in guacamole (I don't know why about that, either); I was looking for alternatives to healthy fats and this book provided that as well.
In the end, this has more than enough information on food that you should be able to decide what you want and keep a full refrigerator and pantry without giving up flavor. Recommended.
