 advice September 11, 2008
good no nonsense advice I always use the information in my health food store provided by this publication.
Classic reference book May 23, 2008
This is the third edition of the Nutrition Almanac that I have purchased over the years.
I find it an extremely valuable reference guide that I consult frequently. It has extensive information on vitamins, minerals, nutritional content of all the basic foods, health issues etc. It now also includes information on homeopathic remedies for a number of medical conditions...a welcome addition!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in health and nutrition.

This is an update of a book I have had for years, and I am very pleased with the information and the format.
 Smaller Book with Less Info than 4th Edition August 2, 2007
20 out of 20 found this comment useful.
When I ordered this book, I was anticipating giving away my old 4th edition for a new one with improved information. NOT SO!
The tables, the heart and soul of the book, have fewer foods and not more than the 4th edition. In a display of ignorant cost cutting, Carb counts for grains such as rice are given per cup of RAW not cooked product - same for macaroni whereas the 4th edition gives raw and cooked values. This alone makes it not worth the money but scattered throughout are foods that were there for 4th edition but are now gone.
The publisher probably saved money by eliminating pages but I can no longer recommend this book to friends; I advise them to not buy it but get a copy of the 4th edition instead.
All Things nutrition..................................... February 8, 2007
I've used this book for decades. It has all the information. I use it mostly to find out what nutritional items are missing for illnesses. I just wanted the latest copy.
