Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Complete Food and Nutrition Guide by Roberta L Duyff
This product was recommended by Michael from Robust Kitchen
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the only nutrition book I’ve found that lacks an obvious agenda. Many of the best-selling nutrition books are by authors who find evidence to support a diet that works solely for them. The misconception here is that one diet does not fit all. The best books are those that break down the nutrients of the food, one by one, and explain their effects on the body (short term and long term). The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics does this using language that can be understood by someone with a basic vocabulary.

How Not to Die by Michael Greger M.D. FACLM

I love this book because it tells you not only his recommendations but he backs it up with tons of scientific evidence (148 pages of references to be exact!) More than that he writes in a clear and concise manner that is easy to read. Lastly, he shows people how to begin implementing changes in his Daily Dozen section. It does a wonderful job of saying exactly what to do and how often. There are over 3,000 five star reviews on Amazon so it’s definitely my pick for best scientific nutrition book.

Tim Spector’s very readable and explains the science behind what we eat, why diets don’t always work, and exactly how our digestive system works.

Foods to Fight Cancer by Richard Béliveau
This product was recommended by Rebecca Adams from My Alchemy Skin Care
As a cancer survivor working hard to change my internal environment and lifestyle, this book has been very useful to help me understand the nutritional benefits of anti-cancer foods and why they are important for me to incorporate into my diet. Inspired by the power of plant-based foods, I’ve created a skin care line, essentially products that are food for skin. Did you know what you put on your skin, your bodies largest organ, is absorbed inside into our blood? This is pretty scary considering all the dangerous and toxic ingredients in many of our personal care products. I need good healthy things to support and maintain my recovery and it sure seems to be working. I’ve been in remission now 29 months!

The Intuitive Eating book is like a breath of fresh air! This is the most sustainable, long-term nutrition solution out there. Backed my research this style of eating will allow you to live your life (enjoying that birthday cake!) while still eating in a way that fosters health.
What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You by Dr. Ray Strand
This product was recommended by Shawn Lockery from NemaMetrix Inc
The book is impressive that covers the antioxidant advises up to date. Unfortunately, most doctors still don’t understand the importance of natural antioxidants, but instead blindly only trusts drugs. The book shares the nutritional information of the food and how it cures. Especially, I now see how helpful and important the Grape seed extract is in many sickness cases, besides increasing the results from the vitamins and minerals. Most doctors receive very little or no education about the role of nutrition, exercise, stress, etc. Most of our modern diseases-diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, etc. are due to poor nutrition, unremitting stress, little sleep, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and poor gut health.

This product was recommended by Ali Hasan from Film Jackets
