Summary: Best supplement review guide in circulation!
Content: I was amazed at how thorough the information was in Lyle's book. I started talking to other folks and it was interesting to see the wide range of ratings (and the really bad ratings) on nutritional supplements. Especially how poorly all the name-brand supplements were rated. Without reading this book you really can't be sure if all your vitamin money is going out in the toilet! This supplements book explains all the key concepts of nutrition in easy-to-understand descriptions. I also found the following website very useful for going a little more in depth on related topics such as oxidation and free radicals, low glycemic eating, and how supplementation can help avoid the inflammation diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes,etc: DontBeABrownApple.com. The site also has recommendations for the highest rated pharmaceutical-grade supplements in existence!
