This book is mostly a lot of trying to convince you with statistics and scientific advice to eat basically Vegan. While I appreciate the fact that most of the evidence is true, there is not enough direction in the form of menus and recipes. The only way to get more information is to join in (not free of course) on Dr. Fuhrman's website.Most people who pick up the book I feel already are ready to make a change and don't need the statistical convincing that he feels necessary to fill most of this book. If you are ready to make a change then save your money on this book and just buy a good vegan cookbook and lay off the processed foods(sugar etc). Not worth the money...
