Great up-to-date nutrition information - fun to read! May 30, 2000
This book really does cover everything about nutrition from A - Z. I especially liked the web links where I could find more information on topics. There were rate-yourself quizzes, easy nutrition tips, and background on scientific studies. This book should be on your shelf and in your kitchen if you're interested in eating right and getting the most from foods and supplements.

The New Nutrition pulls it all together! May 31, 2000
I've read many books on health and nutrition, but this one covers all the bases. It makes the information interesting and applicable. One of the best features is that it includes websites and phone numbers to gather more information on the topics if you so choose. This book is perfect for those new to health or those who have been studying it for years. Finally a health and wellness book that is entertaining and reliable!

Proper nutrition brings health to mind and body Dec 13, 2000
In The New Nutrition, Felicia covers all the topics necessary to understand the complicated field of nutrition. She examines modern research that shows that correct nutrition actively promotes a healthy body and mind. She explains how our choices of vitamins, minerals, supplements and herbs advance this health and how pitfalls in the way we use them cause us to waste money and in some cases lead us to harm the health we so desire. To help us in these choices, she evaluates nutritional products and the companies that sell these products to us.

My favorite chapter is entitled Eating to Heal. In this chapter Felicia sums up the nutritional research on illnesses that, in one form or another, trouble all of us now or will trouble us in the future. She tells readers how proper nutrition and choice of vitamins, herbs and supplements can help relieve Alzheimer's Disease. arthritis, asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, heart disease and many other diseases that commonly afflict us. This chapter also discusses the patient symptoms I treat every day: food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances. Her advice in this chapter alone is worth far more than the price of the book.

Not only does Felicia Busch write clearly and to the point, she also writes with great authority. She is one of America's foremost dieticians and an acknowledged expert in nutrition. She has written numerous articles in major specialty and consumer publications and appeared in over 1000 TV, radio and print interviews. I learned this when I searched for an expert to help readers follow the allergy elimination diet I use in my allergy practice and describe in Food Allergies: The Complete Guide to Understanding and Relieving Your Food Allergies. Her expertise contributes significantly to my book and is readily apparent in her book, The New Nutrition.

Modern nutrition is so complicated and the benefits so positive that people, to gain the health that they deserve, must understand the foods and preparations available to them. No medical care provider can substitute for well-informed people caring for themselves. As they attempt to gain this knowledge, The New Nutrition should be on their bookshelf and its knowledge in their minds. Its reader-friendly words are useful today and will be useful for years to come. My nurses and I find it a valuable resource that we use daily, the reader will find it similarly helpful.
