Accessible and super informative. Science heavy and interesting. If you have any interest in how what you put into your body does and what we really need and should avoid, give this one a shot.

I just read about the things I thought might kill me. Adding flaxseed and one more serving of fruit. Also...beans. I need to eat more freakin beans!

This book has completely refreshed and reframed my relationship to food and nutrition. Too often I’ve thought of food as the impact it has on my body externally, while Dr Greger breaks down exactly what it looks like internally. His checklist of a daily dozen and examples of serving sizes makes it hugely accessible to implement changes in your life, and already I’ve noticed an improvement. Truly could not be more grateful for this book.

Amazing! I have a different lens through which to view my food choices, and my relationship with this body that gets me around in this world. The very bottom line premise of this book is to eat as close to the bottom of the food chain as possible--a whole-plant based diet. If I see a food item and don't really know where it came from originally, or how much it had to go through to get to its present state, I probably don't need it, and my body (and my health) will suffer if I ingest it. Simple!
Knowing the why behind so many ailments, and the why behind eating healthy foods, makes the change in lifestyle choices easier for me.
