Review: UNRELIABLE recipes for Dash

Why would a book claiming to embrace Dash Diet fundamentals and potential weight loss not include nutritional information for it's recipes - at least calorie and sodium counts? I was curious so I did a bit of research.  It was easy to quickly find the web sources for the 8 recipes I checked.  I found 6 copied from dashdietoregon, 1 from bestapples, and 1 from epicurious.  I'm sure the balance of recipes are nothing more than bad cut and paste jobs, too.Here's the very big problem with the recipes: when the original sources called for "low-sodium", "reduced-sodium", "reduced-fat", etc. ingredients, the "author" didn't bother to include that tidbit of information.  All he/she listed was the ingredient itself, such as "broth" instead of "low sodium broth".  This is suppose to be a book about the DASH DIET. To quote from the book, "One of the most important goals of the approach is to reduce the amount of sodium in your diet.".  To remove recipe specifications for reduced, low, no sodium or fat from the ingredient list is just ridiculous.  If the "author" can't get THIS part right, why should I believe anything else in the book?
