 Nonsense and Pseudoscience December 28, 2008
McKeith is not a medical doctor. Indeed, her degree is a correspondance course from an unacredited American college. Not that this neccesarily matters, but the problem is that this is indicative of McKeith's whole approach: rubbish dressed up as something more through the use of fancy terminology. Sadly, she fails to understand her field entirely and so this book veers between, as its best, mere common sense and, at its worst, potentially dangerous misinformation.
Plain common sense dressed up in pseudo science September 8, 2008

I was recently given this by a friend and I have to say that I was distinctly underwhelmed by the contents. Essentially it's just common sense advice like eating fresh ingredients in moderation, but dressed up in pseudo scientific language. Money would be better spent on a decent cookbook and some ingredients.

Anything she has to add to conventional and scientifically estabilished health improvement behaviour, is either blatantly wrong or completely unproven. Therefore, you could probably get all the useful stuff from cheaper generic sources.
 Don't think about it, just buy it. May 26, 2008

This book make the flight across the big pond for me and the 21 day wait to get it was worth every second and extra penny. It is true, this is THE book as a resource guide. If you even think you will like it, buy it, you won't beable to put it down. Mine sits on my coffee table and I read parts of it over and over every day. It has enlightened me tremendously on areas that American physicians have no information on nor do they know where to tell you to go to get the information. After struggling with underactive thyroid and wheat and dairy intolerances I am now enlightened as to what my internal system is managing on a day to day basis. I've made changes already and am reaping higher energy rewards. I was already a healthy eater and have a very active lifestyle but this book puts food at a whole new level, a healing level.

Gillian's Food Bible is her best book yet. It's extremely useful - easy to read, the problem is at times I can't put it down! It's an excellent reference to have to hand for any ailments and well being. For those of us who really care about healthy living - it's a must buy. As you read the various sections you find yourself thinking of your children, mother's, and grandmother's eating habits and general health! When I arrived in the country 5 years ago, you couldn't buy the wholefoods, whole grains and organic produce in the supermarkets you can today. So hats off the lady for shaking up the nation and making a difference in how we look at food.
