About this title

About the Author

Robert Crayhon

From Library Journal

The author of this well-organized and easily understood book is a certified nutritionist who operates six clinics and hosts two syndicated radio programs about nutrition. Although many of his recommendations echo those in other recent titles advocating good health through nutrition (e.g., Gene Spiller's The Super Pyramid Eating Program, LJ 3/15/93; Dean Ornish's Eat More, Weigh Less, LJ 6/1/93; and Neal Barnard's Food for Life, LJ 6/15/93), he also recommends supplementation as essential to obtaining optimum health. Crayhon believes that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet is not healthful for some population groups and suggests that individuals look to their own ancestry and personal situation in choosing an appropriate diet. He cites hydrogenated fat, rather than cholesterol, as the culprit in our epidemic of heart disease and other diet-related illnesses. His book offers a thorough explanation of all nutrients, with explicit guides for selecting a beneficial combination. Crayhon also discusses specific health problems and nutrition, including high blood pressure, PMS, and osteoporosis. An excellent addition to nutrition collections.
