It is well written and easy to comprehend
Very educational and addresses many facets of the food industry. It is well written and easy to comprehend. Their products are somewhat pricey but like everything else in life if you want quality you have to pay for it. The authors are very accessible for any questions and their website offers a continuous assortment of valuable updated information. You'll be amazed what we have been eating unknowingly. Shame on the food industry for trying to dupe the consumer.

The principles described in this book are good, but there are other, better books.
I liked the explanations of micronutrients; what they are, why we need them, and why we aren't getting them. I didn't like the push for their particular multi-vitamin product. Throughout the book, they quote studies that show that taking a multi-vitamin cleared up a number of health issues, then discribed the concepts of micronutrient conflict and synergy to show that other multi-vitamins were not adequate.The principles described in the book were good, and I plan to make use of them. There are other, better books.Also, the quality of the book itself is poor. Although the pages are durable with great pictures, tables and explanations, the spine was falling apart before I finished it.

Didn't go into as much detail as I thought it would
They spend a lot of time in the book convincing you that if you're an American, you're probably not nutrient sufficient. Well, duh, that's why I bought this book. They only touched briefly on which vitamins helped with which conditions and the micronutrients competition and synergy charts were misaligned and almost impossible to read. Great for people with only a basic (or no) knowledge of nutrition. Definitely defies conventional wisdom. I would recommend for sure

Some Good Information but Basically an Informercial for their products
Although there is some good information, when it comes to which vitamins are synergistically optimal, and which are incompatible, there is a confusing chart which cannot be read. However, if you buy their vitamins, then you won't need to worry about it! Their assumptions is that supplements are essential to health… their assumptions. I can sympathize with wanting to promote their products, however when I checked there was a 3 month backlog! I liked their other book - Rich Food, Poor Food MUCH better!

Unique, helpful and motivating
This is a very good book about clean eating. They provide many, excellent and specific examples of products to chose from and I found that very helpful. I did feel the book has an agenda to encourage their coaching program; but it is still very good. 4.5 stars.

Best book on Nutrition I've read.
This book is the best I have read on nutrition and helps the reader understand the sometimes complex science of nutrition in a way that is easy to understand. It also helps to understand how to eat and what kind of supplementation is necessary and why. It is the most thorough and helpful book I have read and helps make sense of all I have read and done nutritonally for years. It also gives very helpful information on the Atkins, Paleo, Mediterranean, and other current dietary suggestions.

slow read
I started this a month ago and need to get back to it. The first part of the book talks about their travels and what the found in different parts of the world and her medical issues. While it was somewhat interesting, I didn't buy it for their research, so much as what the results were.
