Up-to-the-minute little gem

Dr. Dalzell pretty much covers all of the questions of the day...right up to the concerns about mercury contamination in fish in her "A Healthy Catch?" topic. Don't let the clever topic names mislead you because the content is evidence-based and explained very clearly (and briefly....that's a good thing.) It is very informative and easy to read. You'll like that in answering each of the questions posed, the 'why' is also explained. This book is appropriate for women's health resource centers and would be a good value-added resource to include in nutrition and diet classes. It is a quick and interesting read and promises to clarify a lot of frequently asked questions.

Give It To Me Straight!

I have now read both books from Dr. Dalzell--Challenge Cancer and Give It To Me Straight. I want to thank her so very much for writing these books, they have answered so many questions I had especially the Give It To Me Straight. Thanks for providing the benefit of your learning and experience to so many of us who, like me, were so confused with all the contradictory information out there on supplements and nutrition for cancer patients. Please keep up your valuable work and website. A Grateful Fan

A simply excellent fact-filled introductory guide

Impressively written by Kim Dalzell (an award-winning author and doctor with advanced degrees in clinical and holistic nutrition), Give It To Me Straight!: Questions & Answers For No-Nonsense Nutrition is a thoroughly "reader friendly" question-and-answer book that directly addresses common consumer confusion concerning soy products, which foods are or aren't helpful for reducing the risk of cancer, why some sprouts can cause food poisoning and how to best prepare them if one is going to eat them, the inherent problems of various fad diets, and much more. An excellent quick-browse supplement to any nutrition resource shelf, Give It To Me Straight! is a simply excellent fact-filled introductory guide which is especially appropriate for the non-specialist general reader.
