“Covers the latest scientific research on balanced diets, food as medicine, weight control, and food for health . . . an excellent nutrition reference.” —Library Journal This latest, completely revised edition of the bestselling The Food Bible contains the most up-to-date research and information from the world’s top authorities on every aspect of food and diet, making it an indispensable reference book. It discusses all the important food issues—from the ‘vegan versus meat’ debate to modern food farming and processing; from the ‘high carb to high protein’ debate to which oil to choose for health protection. It guides you through the minefield of contradictory dietary advice with clear nutritional information. Beginning with an explanation of the basic elements that make up food—proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and the ‘new’ non-nutrients such as probiotics, the book explains how to combine them for balanced, healthy eating. The Food Bible takes an in-depth look at all the common ailments and health problems and discusses which foods to avoid and which can help prevent or alleviate them. There is a wealth of useful information on what to eat at every stage of your life and how best to keep your weight under control. The book contains a collection of tempting, healthy and nutritious recipes for all occasions and a final chapter containing invaluable, detailed analysis of over 300 everyday foods. “Anyone seeking modification of lifestyle or body dimensions will find much useful guidance in Wills’ analytical book.” —Booklist “[A] sensible, balanced and unbiased approach.

The Essential Guide to Ethical, Organic, Whole and Healthy Food All you need to know about food that is ethical, organic, whole and healthy. Until quite recently it was considered fairly radical to buy organic produce, and the term "ethical food" was almost unheard of. Today, millions of us are trying to improve our lives, our health -- and the planet -- by eating not only organic, healthy, additive-free food, but also food that has been produced responsibly. But with so much conflicting information out there, many of us still have concerns about what we are really buying and eating, and where our food has come from. Today, the concept of "green food" embraces so many things including how far our food has travelled to reach us, seasonal eating, free trade, fair trade, slow food, and many more concerns. The Green Food Bible offers a guiding hand through the complicated maze that is eating today. Fully illustrated throughout, it is packed with fascinating information about the food industry. It includes a hands-on guide to growing your own organic fruits and vegetables. Practical, comprehensive and up-to-date, The Green Food Bible will enable consumers to make confident, informed choices about buying and eating food that is not only healthy for us, but healthy for the environment
