Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this book because it was highly recommended, but unfortunately its fad-based and not fact based. Her writing is terrible. She gives outright incorrect information about health and science and does not seem to know how to use evidence based research to make health claims. I would only use it for recipes - please beware that although the Weston Price foundation may have some legitimate research, she does a poor job at integrating and disseminating this information...and twists it into nonfactual trend-based opinions. example of the crazy: While I fully agree with eating bone-based broths, whole organic foods and the natural forms of food....she does not understand the process of pathophysiology. She claims that eating soaked grains can prevent hypothyroidism. !?!? What endocrinologist has researched this? She has enough correct information to sound intelligent, but frankly comes across just as dictatorial as the "diet dictocrats" she is claiming to oppose. Page after page of this book is 1 right idea followed by 3-4 inaccurate and silly ideas that are not backed up by evidence. Sometimes she cites sources, many times she says "Scientists have found .."! As a scientist, this book is just painful to read. Please do not think you are following evidence based medicine by following her advice. As a doctorally prepared medical professional I can attest that her health claims are inaccurate. Her "research claims" would not pass the rigors of even the simplest of medical journals. In layman's terms: this is Doctor Oz level advice with a goofy-crunchy granola feel.
