Customer Response

A much-needed learned physician's view of vegan eating
I find this book to be such a refreshing break from the typical diet drivel put out by "big-name" physicians like Atkins. Dr. Klaper knows his nutrition, knows his medicine, and even knows his foods (the recipes are excellent.) With his kind heart, he shares the best way to save yours.

Although the message is postive, this book lacks facts.
Don't get me wrong, I've am vegan and spread the word, but this book is more propaganda than fact. If you are looking for scientific facts about how to be a maintain healthy while eating vegan, this might not be the best book. This is a good book that covers the uglies of saturated fats and cholesterol, and where our meats, diary, and eggs come from (which I think should be in a nutrition book). I bought it and don't reget it, but wasn't completely happy with it.
