Particular emphasis is given to the benefits of foods containing dietary fibre, the omega-3 fats, and the need to make up common nutrient shortfalls e.g. selenium because of nutrient deficiencies in the soil. Issues such as genetically modified foods and organic farming and organic food are dealt with in an even handed manner. The approach has been to document fully statements and claims made. This book is different in content and layout from the standard, rather dry text book. The aim is to present the information in as straightforward and unambiguous terms as is possible without oversimplification. Statements, summaries and titillating comments, independent of the text, are highlighted and offset on page margins so the reader can easily pick these out. Tables are clearly presented. Many questions are raised about supermarket practices. For example, why are there so many choices of milk and milk products. Are all of these of benefit?
It is David's unique background and a multitude of experiences that have eminently qualified him to write this book. His interest in people's health and the role of wealth, the drug companies and medical services in our society, our eating habits and his lifelong interest in food, diet and nutrition, encouraged him to research and write, over a period of five years, this fully referenced and indexed book.
