Vaughan, J.G. The Oxford Book of Health Foods
Oxford University Press 2003 0198504594 / 9780198504597 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Near fine in publisher's slightly rubbed boards in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Health and health food is a big, confusing business. Collectively, we spend billions every year on vitamin supplements, alternative therapies and fitness products. Almost every nation has its own list of recommended nutritional and dietary requirements. Yet much of what we think we 'know' about what is (and isn't) good for us is based on nothing more than folk tradition and fashion. Now, at last The Oxford Book of Health Foods puts all those old wives' tales to the test. Within this one ambitious and beautifully illustrated volume, Vaughan and Judd have taken on a seemingly impossible task - to systematically examine 183 healthfood shop staples and present us with the lowdown. Which products really do have beneficial properties, and which are simply a waste of our time and money? If you've ever wondered about the value of feverfew in treating migraines, pondered on whether gingko really can prevent a deterioration of brain cells, or mulled over the sedative effects of hops - apart from when consumed in beer - then this is the book for you. Accompanying each entry is detailed information on every plant's origin and method of cultivation, its culinary and nutritional value, claims and folklore surrounding it and any scientific evidence to support them. The volume also includes comprehensive background information on good nutrition to help with shopping and label-reading. This is an extensive and thorough volume. Ideal for students of nutrition and alternative therapy, it's also accessible enough to keep even the most casual vitamin-gussler flicking happy through its pages. Packed full of helpful diagrams with clear explanations and a minimum of jargon, this is an indispensable reference for every health-conscious household. (Kirkus UK)... If you're one of the hundreds of thousands who like the idea of healing by dietary means, this could be the year's most welcome addition to your bookshelf The Guardian ... `If you're one of the hundreds of thousands who like the idea of natural healing by dietary means, this could be the year's most welcome addition to your bookshelf...Dry, calm, factual, serious business.' The Guardian (Weekend)... `Many books on health foods are too superficial or too cranky to inspire confidence. No such danger with the Oxford Book of Health Foods...essentially a reference book, but it is also a good read for anyone with and interest in the subject' House and Garden... `a fascinating browse for anyone who is interested in plants and health' The Journal of the Oral Health Promotion Research Group
