Publisher's Summary

There's an ever-growing body of evidence supporting the relatively simple principles that are behind healthy eating - yet the public seems to be more confused than ever. Never-ending promotions of fad diets get in the way of people making healthy choices.

In this revised and updated edition of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, Dr. Willett uses eye-opening research to explain the relative importance of various food groups and supplements as well as how to choose foods with the best types of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. He reveals why controlling weight - after not smoking - is the single most important factor for a long, healthy life, why eating some types of fat is beneficial and necessary, how to choose wisely between different carbohydrates, how to pick the right protein packages, and what fruits and vegetables - not juices! - fight disease.

He also translates this essential information into simple menu plans and tasty recipes, providing an important resource for families everywhere.

Useful but info missing from the book

Excellent science-based nutrition informations. No pdf with audiobook: missing tables. Recipes should be in a pdf not in a read format (far less useful).

Waste of Money

Save your money, review of old news based on observational studies and offers misinformation is what I found, just my take. I couldn't finish the constant repeat of common sense knowledge you can find anywhere and opinion cherry picking. So many better books out there that offer more insight on health and nutrition, nothing new here!
