101 Foods That Could Save Your Life by David Grotto

If you are interested at all in nutrition, this is a great reference book. Grotto has listed 101 foods, alphabeticaly by name, and included a great deal of information about each: a history, information about where it is produced/grown, what is in it that is helpful to your health, how it can help your health, and a recipe or two. What I really like about the book in addition to its great information is the quality of its index (you can look up medical conditions you are interested in and find out what foods help) and the bibliography (Grotto has done his homework and extensively cites major medical research stuides to back up his claims). This is not quackery; it is good, scientifically grounded information that is fun to read and consult.
