Critics Review
“Davis, an award-winning health journalist, sorts it all out for us in this slender, handy guide. Whether it’s aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup, or gluten, Davis relies on only the best evidence to separate fact from half-truth and fiction…Davis includes a wealth of reliable references, and ends with ‘Ten Tips for Deciphering Diet and Nutrition Claims,’ a chapter worth the price of the book.” — Booklist
“Coffee Is Good for You will educate you, entertain you, and at times it’ll even make you laugh. A must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered whether or not to believe the hype.” — Lisa “Hungry Girl” Lillien
