The Best Things You Can Eat: For Everything from Aches to Zzzz, the Definitive Guide to the Nutritio

I've been looking forward to the arrival of Dave Grotto's new book and it arrived early today. Having interviewed Dave months ago about its upcoming release I was intrigued by what he had to say so was looking forward to receiving it. Of course as a fellow registered dietitian (and btw, I purchased the book...it was not given to me and nobody asked me to write this review) I'm really interested in knowing what THE best sources are of nutrients.

The "bible" for nutrition in foods is the USDA nutrient database which is readily available online. You can get lists of all nutrients from highest to lowest which is all great and wonderful...the problem is they are ALL based upon 100 gram servings (about 3.5oz) an amount not typically eaten for some foods so comparisons are not really apples to apples. In the book Dave provides serving sizes of what someone might actually eat. MUCH more useful. Furthermore the evals are based upon WHOLE foods and not those fortified excellent! Otherwise Total cereal would be number one on every list :-)

I only wish I would have had this book last fall when I was updating my slides for the nutrition classes I teach. Would have made my job a whole lot easier!

Dave has a very laid back humorous writing style that makes the book very easy to read. Well done!

Great Book! This simple to read, enjoyable text is jammed packed with nutrition info that we as dietitians get asked everyday!It is well referenced in addition to being just plain fun to read. It is not only for the health professional but the foodie and the consumer as well. I was not asked to write this review and I bought my own copy of the text. Dave Grotto has done it again!!!!

I've had the pleasure of interviewing the author over the past decade for various magazine stories, so I was excited for this book to come out. As usual, Grotto is chockfull of knowledge, and it's presented in an accessible, easy-to-understand way, along with interesting/unusual factoids. He somehow manages to make you want to try beef liver no easy feat. I trust him so much that I recently hired him to help my parents lose weight. This "guy-a-tician" is good.

I'm so glad there is finally a nutrition book like this. Within two hours of purchasing this book I was already referring to it! I get many questions about which foods are the best sources of each nutrient (beyond resorting to fortified foods). This book covers it. Also, the real-life portion sizes are helpful since many websites have unrealistic comparisons.

The lists covering sleep and cold/flu were helpful as well.
