Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction

Dr David Friedman’s book, “Food Sanity” is an outstanding manual. This manual is full of wisdom about the food that we are eating and how we can become even more healthy than we currently are. It contains many secrets for a long and healthy life.Over the years, I have tried a number of different diets and they all worked for a time. Dr David Friedman acknowledges that all diets work! However, I was often unaware of the additional damage that some of the diets that I followed, had caused in my body. The limitations of several fad diets are outlined in this book.Dr David Friedman gives his expert advice and wisdom about the foods which we should and should not eat. Some of his research findings are innovative (e.g. the facts about cavemen, the amount of mercury in fish and the fact that pigs don’t sweat).I really enjoyed reading the true stories about Dr David Friedman’s clients and about his own fascinating experiences on his own health journey. I love Dr David Friedman’s honesty. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo (e.g. with his references to “Big Pharma” etc.).The wisdom and the well-researched insights in this book have been life-changing for me. After reading this book, I have reduced my sugar and my salt intake and I have made other changes to my diet and to my life. I now eat better food and I sleep better. I have removed obesogens and other toxins from my life. The result is that I now feel full of life and full of energy each day!If you will put into practice the recommendations and ideas in this book, as I have done, you too will experience a positive transformation in your health. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone, who has concerns about their diet and their health, or to anyone, who wants to feel more energised and full of life.

A well written book, dispelling old ingrained myths and beliefs about what we need to putinto our bodies.Very readable and comprehensible.Good advice for good health.

Very informative

This is an excellent book. So many products on the market. It is hard to know who to trust. This book tells the facts without the fluff. Would highly recommend it.

I read this book in one sitting and was beyond impressed with the information that Dr. Friedman presents in such a clear (and entertaining) way!!! The world of food and nutrition has become confusing and complicated but this book sheds light on some of the most important topics we, as consumers, need to be aware of. If you're wanting to improve your health in any way, I highly recommend this book. I loved it.

Love this book. Such an interesting read and debunks all those myths we hear about. Certainly worth its weight in gold.

I was at my friends place who had the book as paperback version. He showed me some interssting tips how to eat healthier which never came into my mind. The next day I bought it for my kindle and i don't have any regrets. This book doesn't give you the "youtube tricks" how to lose fat that comes back after a week. In this book you get foodtips that are for the longrun.

I started reading Food Sanity to complement my studies in a nutrition program. I never imagined that this book would direct me towards making simple, everyday changes that supported me in becoming even healthier, reduce pain, inflammation, improve energy level, becoming a wiser consumer. This book is very well organized, pleasant to read without heavy medical jargon. I enjoyed listening to every chapter in the audio book as Dr. Friedman has a warm sense of humor. I have a hard copy I keep as a reference as well so I can share the information with others. Dr. Friedman did an amazing work, over six years of sound research and brings to light much needed information to the public about the many issues affecting the quality of the food available to us. You will learn about the food industry and pharmaceuticals behind food research, media, even regulatory agencies affecting the choices we make. How do we end up with foods and products that contain harmful substances right in our pantries and bodies? He further explores the different trends in weight loss diets and offers more natural, sustainable weight loss alternatives, and simple, common sense ways to achieving optimal health. You will learn everything about dairy, meats, fish, vitamins, plants, environment and information that will surprise and inspire you. The reading will certainly guide anyone’s efforts to become healthier. It gives that nudge we all need to take small steps on making better choices. Ultimately you will decide what is reasonable for your goals and unique needs, because you will learn so much. Food Sanity won first place in Health category, at the Author Academy Awards in 2019. Simply put, the best book on food and health. I am very grateful for Dr. Friedman’s relentless work.
