An Apple a Day by Dr. Joseph Schwarcz

Should I really have a glass of red wine a day? What is all this I keep hearing about antioxidants? How exactly does coffee affect my body?

Dr. Schwarcz, in his book An Apple a Day: The Myths, Misconceptions, and Truths About the Foods We Eat, attempts objectively evaluate the truth behind the latest trends in nutrition. When possible, he cites scientific studies, and other times he introduces his own opinion, which he seems to present as fact as well.

This is a concise, quick reference on many key nutritional buzzwords. For those interested in health and diet, but not thoroughly up to date, Schwarcz has created a useful guide. He presents no new information here, but does effectively summarize on many popular topics regarding the foods we eat.
