I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this book. It definitely had useful information in it, although there was no reason it needed to be that long.
The most helpful part for me was the last bit where he breaks down the daily dozen. I will definitely be incorporating the foods he talked about into my diet and the book has inspired me to significantly increase plant-based foods in my diet.
I found the writing and message aggressive and lacking nuance. There was information presented that I have heard contradictions from other trustworthy sources. Tye author presents his view as absolute without addressing or debunking others.
I think it is a useful book and worth a read, but should be taken with a grain of salt (contrary to what the author would recommend).
