I'm sorry, but this book defines "overkill." Don't get me wrong; there is plenty of good information in this book. However, the author lauds the benefits of eating capsicum for fat and calorie burning. Other sources say this increased burn is minimal at best.

The author overstates some information by discouraging individuals with arthritis from consuming nightshade plants, such as tomatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers. Although there is little to no scientific data to support this, anecdotal reports suggest that this may be true.

In a phrase, this book was overblown. The text was wordy. I've read better resources. However, I liked the explanation of sugars and sugar alternatives. Overall score = G+.
