I have been looking into nutrition a lot lately and would really appreciate if someone could recommend a good book about it, that would really sum things up for me.

Thanks

On Nutrition there are three books I would recommend:

1. Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes
2. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price
3. The Saccharine Disease by T.L. Cleave

These three will let you work things out.

Can't recommend any one book, but you can't trust any one book anyway. Get as many different viewpoints as you can. You will find contradictions everywhere you look. Especially seek out authors outside the mainstream and stay away from celebrity doctors.

IMO, most books are 50/50 good and bad information, and at first you won't know the difference. You'll need to sort out what makes sense to you and experiment. The authors I trust the most are Joseph Mercola, Richard Passwater and Russell Blaylock. Check out Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, at Natural News.com. Dr. Oz and Dr. Weil are in the 50/50 category.

Hey Marce, what kind of nutrition are you looking for. Organic, low carb, smart foods etc...?? Are you starting a diet? If so what is your goal and plan? (I am a personal trainer and soon to be certified nutritionist) Id love to help.
