Reviewer: Pamela C. Niles (Brookings, OR)
I have the first edition of this book and have continually referred to it over the years. One reviewer here noted that fat content isn't differentiated into type (mono, saturated, etc.). That's true but I believe the focus of this book is to provide total fat and caloric values for weight loss purposes. Thus, the type of fat isn't so important since too much of any type of fat will increase body weight. If you want that sort of information, buy a different book. However, the Fat Bible would be a better reference book if there was other nutritional values included, i.e., carbs, protein, etc. That's why I rated it 4-stars. Still, I've just added the newly revised 4th edition to my cart, as my old copy is worn and no doubt out of date (pub. 1991). I recommend the Fat Book for anyone serious about ongoing weight control.
