Food Folklore: Tales and Truths About What We Eat: 11 (The Nutrition Now Series) Paperback – 9 Dec. 1998

You Name it And It's All In Here In FOOD FOLKLORE From/By THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION - The Myths/'Old Wives Tales' Of Our Dietary Consumption.Do Carrots Really Make Us See Better In The Dark?Going Organic, Is It Really A Healthier Option?A Shot Of A Brandy When Feeling A Little Cold Or Have Flu Type Symptoms, Is It Helpful Or Harmful?Vitamin Supplements Are Good?The Contents Page And Layout Of The Book Is Similar To That Of A Dictionary Which Lists Everything In Alphabetical Order And Numerical Order, Highlighting The Simplicity, Comfort And Ease The Subject Of interest Can Be Located. However Some Topics May 'Not' Be Where You Expect Them To Be.Eg: The Information On Carrots Is 'Not' Listed In The Cs - But Appears Under The Subject Matter Of V For Vision - Which I Found In The Very Detailed 'Index' At The Back Of The Book.Because of the nature and size of the book - 91 Pages, inclusive of notes, index etc - I think you'l be very hard pressed 'Not' to find a FOOD FOLKLORE that is common to man.You may however find that there are many 'unlisted' Food Folklores that are common to a specific area, region or peoples of the globe.Thank You!
