Got it and read it a few weeks ago. Good book with good points, some you have to take with a grain of salt, for example, keep in mind the author has a business selling live vitamins so he of course thinks those are the best. Not to say they aren't but...

That book has made me take an increasingly hard look at the average American diet, and I had already previously headed far away from the "white death" (bleached white flour etc) and processed foods loaded with preservatives.

I had conflicting emotions - reading it made me 1) want to eliminate absolutely everything unnatural from our family's food consumption, 2) really angry at the traditional nutritional/scientific/pharmaceutical community in this country, and 3) completely depressed that in our processed urban world, we can't get completely away from our self-created poisons, short of moving to the wilderness and becoming hunter/gatherers. :)

Seriously though, at the very least, it made me start buying organic milk for my kids. I might not be able to afford to have free-range meat shipped to my house, but I can eat the double cost of milk to avoid hormones. And thankfully, we have a number of hunters in our family and eat venison and fresh fish all year, so that's a plus as well.

I have been searching for the perfact diet for years that made sense. The only thing is not eating pasta.( I am Italian )
But moderate use once a week will not do any harm imo
