Bowden has the education, licensing, and experience to know what he's talking about. His "150 healthiest foods" are grouped into 15 categories: Vegetables; Grains; Beans and Legumes; Fruit; Nuts and Seeds; Soy Foods; Dairy; Meat, Poultry, and Eggs; Fish and Seafood; Specialty Foods; Beverages; Herbs, Spices, and Condiments; Oils; Flour; and Sweeteners. One or two pages is devoted to each food, listing its nutritional benefits backed up by research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This is a handy source book for home cooks seeking to get the most value from their food, as well as a reference book that provides the information you need to assess the "miracle" foods that pop up in TV and internet promotions. Includes a handy glossary and index. ( )

I started to read this book and was taking so many notes I decided to stop and make plans to buy it. ( )
