Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating by Walter C. Willett
5.0
I think this is a great book because of 1 good reason: it gives proper reference.
I think it repeats itself sometimes. But what the author does is, he explains “what affects your health in what way” in a clear and proved manner. He also mentions it very clearly if something is “not proved”. And he let’s you learn and decide how should you be eating.
I found this book much more helpful than all other books that I’ve read. Most diet books feels like they are trying very hard to convince you that their diet is the best diet ever. However, this book felt more “educating” than “convincing”.
-> I’ll suggest it to anyone who would like to learn more about food and diet. If you have a specific illness and you want to read dietary books, you might prefer some other book. This one does talk a lot about health but it doesn’t address to people with specific conditions.
