Rating: 5 out of 5

The book starts off with the author telling the reader that most of today's food is junk. It consists of too many herbicides, pesticides and genetically modified food.  The author makes some good arguments here and some of his findings are downright scary. He backs them up with references and sources. He then moves onto answering a few questions that people have about diets and superfoods.I found this section to make for educational reading and picked up a few things I didn't know, such as that just because food is grown without pesticides it doesn't necessarily make it scientifically organic.The next and largest section of the book is dedicated to individual superfoods themselves. Each is dissected into the health benefits, the breakdown of vitamins and minerals and ways to include them in your diet. Each section contains tips as well to spot modified foods, for example if dried apricots are bright in colour they have had sulphites added to them.The amount of information in here is enormous and will keep health conscious people occupied for quite some time.Furthermore the section on fats was quite enlightening, where the author explains their uses and debunks a number of misconceptions.Overall, this is recommended reading for anyone looking to expand their education into the world of superfoods or just wanting to eat and feel better.
