Healthful recipes included! *by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015* I bought this book on Kindle and read the entire thing last night. I am an MD myself and have been looking for ways to help my patients understand the role nutrition plays in their health (or lack of it.) (While many people believe that physicians do not understand nutrition, it is more the case that we do not have time in the course of a 15-20 minute visit to teach a nutrition class. It can't be done.) This book is very readable and perfect for anyone who needs some basic nutritional information and a jumpstart in eating healthfully. For those who need "proof" before they give up their junk food, there is just enough science to give a person some motivation. I read some of the more ''negative'' reviews here and am very disappointed. Everyone is at a different level in his or her path to learning about nutrition No book can be "all things to all people". Some reviewers wanted more science, some wanted more recipes. These are NOT reasons to give ''one' star to a book that is an introduction to cooking AND medicine and meant for the layperson who is just beginning his journey or needs a refresher to get back on track. Great Book! I plan on buying one for each of my staff members and Health Coaches to use for teaching purposes and to use themselves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the Things You've Heard About Healthy Eating - All in This One Book! *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011* Before I got this book (as a gift), I was as lost as everyone else in the maze of information and misinformation about which foods do what for you. Now I have all that information in one place. La Puma breaks nutrition down into an understandable and readable format. What foods are the best for fighting cancer? Which have the most nutrition per bite? What vitamins are in different foods and how do you get a balance? I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer over a year ago and have found this book to be very helpful in my new regimen for staying as healthy as I can for as long as I can. And I truly believe it has helped. I was only supposed to live for about 2 months, and I'm still going strong and feeling well after 14 months. I only wish this had been available 20 years ago. I firmly believe I could have avoided what I'm now going through. So whether you are sick or healthy, this book will help you. It's not about "exotic" foods or macrobiotics or being vegan, although there are things that will appeal to everyone on every path. It's about every day foods - with Top Ten lists for categories such as beans, grains, vegetables, fruits, herbs, etc. Each food item is described in terms of what nutrition it offers, what health issues it addresses, and other valuable categories. EASY to grasp and easy to reference when you need to. Fascinating and valuable. I strongly recommend it to everyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Useful Read with Interesting Recipes *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2010* I found this book through a link from Dr. Li's work on Angiogenesis. Even though not a clinician, reading it showed a correlation between the two's approaches.The list of recommended ingredients for one's pantry includes some that may be challenging to find.The book for a non-clinician seems a bit of a challenge to comprehend, but I'm not sure you need to understand all of the nitty gritty to gain value from reading it. But the real benefit would come from a disciplined commitment to use Dr. LaPuma's eight-week regimen as a behavior changing strategy. I don't see how picking and choosing specific ideas to embrace will have much benefit in the long run.Having said that, there are a number of recipes that look really interesting. We're looking forward to experimenting with them when we're in a position to do so. Many of his suggestions for preparing meals quickly using off-the-shelf products are also attractive.If you subscribe to the theory that any improvement is an improvement, I believe it would be possible to get value from a casual study of Dr. LaPuma's approach. Nevertheless, I suspect that real value will come a full blown immersion into it. It's worth checking out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11841669-chefmds-big-book-of-culinary-medicine-a-food-lovers-road](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11841669-chefmds-big-book-of-culinary-medicine-a-food-lovers-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
