I found this book to be very helpful and practical! It helped me understand which foods contain carbohdyrate and how to count the carbohydrates that I eat. The recipes that I've tried have been simple to prepare and tasty! I especially like the unique index which lists all the recipes by how much carbohydrate they contain. The sample menus gave me ideas on how to plan meals. If you are counting carbs - look no further! This is a great book!

Good Starting Point 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

As a quick read with a number of interesting facts, this is a good introduction to food additives as well as nutrients. It could be construed as a dictionary but not as a reference. To be a reference, it needs a standardized format to ensure the same kind of information is provided for each item. To be a quick reference, it needs a comprehensive index. As a potential source, it also seems to lack authority when it fails to consistently cite sources and makes statements which appear subjective. I'm still looking for something of the nature of Rodale's Encyclopedia of Herbs.

Not so useful 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book is aimed at ppl who're on the brink of understanding what toxins and allergic substances are contained within foods. After reading the reviews, I realised that you when you're severely allergic to foodstuffs, then it's not an axe to grind - it's pertinent facts you need.

And sadly, this is what the book lacks. It's more a P.R. book of why the government legally poisons our food with enhancers and food colorings - to make them more appealing...

This book is a good read for beginning information - but if you need real sources of allergies, there is abundant data freely available on the internet.

Don't listen to publicity - listen to allergy sufferers.

thanks for the information about citrus - I'm cutting that one out of my diet now. :os

Editorial Review:

An essential book for anyone who wants to make informed, healthier choices at the store or at the table. This valuable listing of more than 8,000 food additives includes those that indirectly end up in your food as a result of processing and procuring techniques, and explains the new food labels that are required on products.

A must for food chemists and food analysist 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The book handles all the techniques, principles and recommended applications regarding sampling, proximate analysis and special analysis for the main components in foods, carbohydrate, protein and fats. It also includes an excellent review on the biochemical and instrumental methods. I would recommend a second book regarding the special analysis for the food groups. I lecture on food analysis and found it to be an excellent support for my course.

Editorial Review:

This book provides information on the techniques needed to analyze foods in laboratory experiments. All topics covered include information on the basic principles, procedures, advantages, limitations, and applications. This book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference to professionals in the food industry. General information is provided on regulations, standards, labeling, sampling and data handling as background for chapters on specific methods to determine the chemical composition and characteristics of foods. Large, expanded sections on spectroscopy and chromatography are also included. Other methods and instrumentation such as thermal analysis, selective electrodes, enzymes, and immunoassays are covered from the perspective of their use in the chemical analysis of foods. A helpful Instructor's Manual is available to adopting professors.

Editorial Review:

Eating junk food and fast food is a great all-American passion. American kids and grownups love their candy bars, Big Macs and supersized fries, Doritos, Twinkies, and Good Humor ice cream bars. The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now. This was particularly dramatically evidenced by Super Size Me (2004), filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's 30-day all-McDonald's diet in which his liver suffered the same poisoning as if he had been on an extended alcohol binge. Through increased globalization, American popular food culture is being increasingly emulated elsewhere in the world, such as China, with the potential for similar disastrous consequences. This A-to-Z reference is the first to focus on the junk food and fast food phenomena from a multitude of angles in addition to health and diet concerns. More than 250 essay entries objectively explore the scope of the topics to illuminate the American way through products, corporations and entrepreneurs, social history, popular culture, organizations, issues, politics, commercialism and consumerism, and much more. Interest in these topics is high. This informative and fascinating work, with entries on current controversies such as mad cow disease and factory farming, the food pyramid, movie tie-ins, and marketing to children, will be highly useful for reports, research, and browsing. It takes readers behind the scenes, examining the significance of such things as uniforms, training, packaging, and franchising. Readers of every age will also enjoy the nostalgia factor, learning about the background of iconic drive-ins, the story behind the mascots, facts about their favorite candy bar, and collectables. Each entry ends with suggested reading. Besides an introduction, a timeline, glossary, bibliography, resource guide, and photos enhance the text. Sample entries: A&W Root Beer; Advertising; Automobiles; Ben & Jerry's; Burger King; Carhops; Center for Science in the Public Interest; Christmas; Cola Wars; Employment; Fair Food; Fast Food Nation; Hershey, Milton; Hollywood; Injury; Krispy Kreme; Lobbying; Nabisco; Obesity; PepsiCo; Salt; Soda Fountain; Teen Hangouts; Vegetarianism; White Castle; Yum!

Editorial Review:

Now fully revised and updated, Solve Your Food Intolerance is a practical dietary program devised by one of the country's leading allergy specialists. It has been highly successful in combating a wide range of health problems, including irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, asthma and rhinitis, eczema, and urticaria. Each food type is systematically excluded from the diet for a period of time, and then gradually reintroduced, with guidelines for monitoring the body's responses. Easy, tried and tested recipes are included which have been carefully designed with taste in mind—but exclude common trigger foods such as wheat, dairy products, yeast, and coffee.
