My all time favourite health and beauty emergency enziclopedia

Customer Rating:
I bought my first edition in 1988 in Portland Oregon, USA. I had lived a very busy life sofar: extensive travelling, film shoots, difficult clients, too much drink, not enough sleep, 2 babies in one year 1991. But since I had the book I learned about the needs of my body and how to keep me fit with artificial(tablets) or natural(food) supplements.
I am 58 now. I look good, I feel great and had enough energy to bring my to children through their teenage years.
Easy to read, never gets out of date- perfect.

perfect info guide

Customer Rating:
I saw an older version of this book and wanted one immediately. This book is great for short quick facts, is easy to read, and is interesting. I recommend this book for passing the time in small intervals, and for having on hand to look things up. You will not become a doctor from reading this book, but it gives interesting facts about a lot of everyday substances.

New and Expanded

Got this for my wife to replace/update her original. She uses it daily and said it does have considerable updates since the 1999 version.

Good Reference Book

Customer Rating:
Amongst many things I am a health nut. I have a large selection of "reference books" that I use to study from. I have had this book for uite sometime and I like it but it has a few flaws. One being the information on certain vitamins is not as long as I would have liked some are even as short as one paragraph. Other than that is a good go to book.

This book was not as informative as some of the older issues

Customer Rating:
I thought the older books were easier to look up different vitamins and what your body needs for certain ailments.I didn't like the way he listed contents in front of book,some things were hard to find when looking in contents.
