The Nutrition Detective

Abstract: Written as a culmination of a 30 year search for good health, this book is meant to help women treat their health problems through the foods they eat. In addition to general discussions of health concerns peculiar to women, the breadth of topics is wide: calcium overkill, food reactions, biochemical individuality, anti illness diets/recipes, and discussions of foods to avoid. Additionally, much of the text is devoted to actual therapeutic diets for a variety of conditions: food allergies, arthritis, yeast infections, premenstrual syndrome, social drinking, stress, and osteoporosis--to name a few. An extensive bibliography is included. (jdb).
