 Too negative May 29, 2009
I found the book had a tendency to run "on and on" in regards to certain subjects, such as aspartame, etc. After the point was made, the author continued to ramble on the subject, to the point where I found myself wanting to skip to the next area, so to speak (in fact I did so at times). I also was beginning to believe that the author is of the opinion that "everything" will give you cancer. I found myself saying "take what you need and leave the rest." Also, when I realized that the book was published almost 10 years ago, I have to question the validity of some of the points made. Things change in ten years.

There are better books out there Nov 26, 2008
This book is very rudimentary and maybe has value for someone who knows absolutely nothing about nutrition. Most of the points are quite elementary, such as avoiding trans fats and high-fat dairy. Also, this book was written in 1999 so some of the information seems dated. Finally, some of his points are debatable, such as alcohol being bad for you in any form and fluoride being a killer. I do not recommend this book.

 Maximum Energy Oct 30, 2008
A must read! Ted Broer's list of 10 foods you should never eat is eye opening to say the least. A person can live a long, healthy life just by eleminating this junk from our diets. I highly recommend everyone read this book!

Too Preachy And Not Scientific Enough Oct 07, 2008
Ok like other people have said, this book does have some decent information in it, for people who know absolutely NOTHING about nutrition. However, as other reviewers have also said, the religious overtones in the book are a bit distracting, and some parts are completely pointless. For example, on the section of what foods to avoid he is talking about shellfish. Then, at the end of the section, he tells a story about how he turned on the TV one day and saw this minister talking about this little girl who had cancer and was dying, and was just sorry she couldn't support his cause (monetarily). Ok, it was a nice story but it had NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with avoiding shellfish!! What the heck??
So, overall I say avoid this book. There are plenty of books out there that are better and are more scientific.

Things we all should know about what we put in our mouth! May 19, 2008
There are so many things we eat in faith, just believing that the FDA is taking care of us. I have suspected for some time this may no longer be true. This book confirmed it. I think it is good information for people who are ready to make a change and learn why they are not more healthy.
