a reader review:

 

A surprisingly excellent scientific work, October 11, 1998

Reviewer: Dr Searle Sennett (searle) from Johannesburg, South Africa

This is not just another shopping-list of chemicals but an outstanding

dissertation of the basis for trace elements and other micro nutrients in our

diet and the reasons for the universal lack thereof. Besides its value as a

guide to nutrition, the book provides insights into our biological origins, as a

species, and shows how far from our " natural home " we have strayed.
