From Library Journal
Tea is high in vitamin K. Lima beans are contraindicated in a low fiber diet. Yogurt makes tetracycline less effective. These facts are a sample of the kinds of information found in this encyclopedic volume. Basing her work on current research, Rinzler, author of popular treatments of health topics, has assembled a unique compendium of medical effects of food for the layperson. Arranged alphabetically, the 103 entries covering 277 foods give the nutritional composition for each food and suggest proper methods of storage and preparation. Chemical reactions that take place during cooking, medical uses, adverse effects, and drug interactions are also enumerated. A worthwhile addition for public libraries. Florence Scarinci, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, N.Y.
