Food: The Definitive Guide

Author: Jill Davies

Almost everyone has an opinion on the food they eat or don't eat. We acquire these opinions from a host of sources starting with what we ate as children. Later in life many other influences develop and change our point of view. The accuracy and nature of the information upon which our choices are based have become critical to the relationship between health and diet.
