All About Vitamins

I find the book helpful especially with the question and answer format with answers appropriate to the response (e.g. "yes", "maybe", "possibly", etc.). When I read 'a genetic defect occurred millions of years ago in our evolutionary ancestors...", however, it made me doubt other information he's given. Evolution is a only theory. So, when the writer states something as a fact, I'd prefer him to stick to the facts. Otherwise, it makes me doubt his objectivity overall. All things considered, though, I'm enthused by the book.

SHORT AND TO THE POINT

I really enjoyed this book. It's written in question and answer format so you can skim it to find a particular question or read it cover to cover. It's short, to the point, and has a lot of really good information in easy to read text. It's answers many common questions about who should be taking vitamins, why should someone take vitamins, and potential risks and myths surrounding vitamins. If you have any desire to learn more about vitamins in a book that can be easily understood, pick this book up. You can't beat the amount of information you are getting for the price.

Small but potent...

This is another in the FAQ series on health by noted reporter Jack Challem.

Though a short book, it has nine chapters about individual vitamins such as A, C, D, E, and K, and the B vitamins, carotenoids, vitamin-like nutrients, a glossary, and a suggested reading and resource section. It answers typical questions such as why RDA's (recommended daily allowances) may not be sufficient.

Many people spend hundreds of dollars a year on nutritional supplements. This book is less than the price of one bottle of multi-vitamins and minerals and helps you be more informed. Also a good size and price to buy for your doctor's office.
