Is some info in this book dated?
I have not read this book, I just skimmed some of the pages available thru Amazon's "Search Inside This Book," so my 3-star rating has to be taken with a grain of salt. In the section on Vitamin D, Jensen makes the statement, "There is no reason for anyone to take more than 400 IU per day." This line shocked me, given the almost weekly new acclamations from many reputable sources (AMA, JAMA, the Lancet, etc) for much higher doses -- around 2000 IU's per day for most people in higher latitudes (ie, north of SC roughly). Then I saw that the book came out in June 2000, 9 years ago. I wonder if Dr Jensen has changed his recommendation in the past year or 2. In any case, I would say that at least some of the info in this book is dated. I would look for Dr Jensen's later books rather than this one.
understand your body
Dr. Jensen's work is unsurpassed. I have learned so much from him. All his books are extremely informative.
Wisdom you need!
Even if you are not dieting, it is an essential book to learn about the vitamin, minerals, foods that benefit your personal situation. I just wished it went deeper into each topic and was not so short. Definite quick read and valuable reference.
