I borrowed this audiobook based on a recommendation by my doctor as an information source for eating better. It is an accessible book that doesn't overwhelm with scientific jargon and research data, although research is referenced.
I found the book discouraging. I felt that based on his research, healthy eating is nearly impossible unless you grow all your own food. Further, nearly all foods, even whole foods bought in stores have deleterious affects. So, I feel that I'm left eating the best of the bad food.
I appreciate that he has additional resources for the reader on his website, but after while I found myself feeling I was being solicited to support all his endeavors.
In the end, I believe I have gained some knowledge, but I am not sold that he is the final authority on health.
