Helpful Score: 1

While my sister absolutely raves about this book, it took me some time to decide to read it because I don't care for the author's use of language. Her use of profanity made me wince at times and wonder if there weren't sufficient words in the English language to express this person's point of view. BUT... once I started and decided to ignore the foul language, I found it a very quick read with useful content. This book provides lots of references for brand name items, web sites, more books, etc. I'll certainly make copies of these lists for my long term use. I did find her advice a bit extreme and have found that food habits requiring "absolutely no.." rarely works for me. But I decided to consider those words of caution and limit those items. And, if I actually made no changes to my eating habits, at least I have a better understanding of what those items do to my body.

Aside from the language and extremism, I found the book informative and educational and would consider it a resource.
