Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
The very pigments that make produce so vibrant are often what make it so beneficial, say the authors to this guide to eating by the color wheel; the red in tomatoes may protect against prostate cancer, for instance, while the yellow in turmeric seems to help ward off colon cancer. Joseph, a lead scientist at the USDA Human Nutrition Center on Aging, and Nadeau, clinical director of a diabetes center and a Tufts assistant professor, have teamed up with Newsweek reporter Underwood to offer readers an encyclopedia of richly hued foods. After a brief overview (e.g., what the authors eat to stay healthy and "What Phytochemicals Mean to You"), the authors plunge into the foods themselves, offering the low-down on everything from apples to yams. Eat 9-10 servings of vegetables a day, keep a color counter and buy organic, the authors suggest; recipes such as Sweet Pepper Vegetarian Chili and Buckwheat Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce (blueberries are a "virtual storehouse of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds") round out the offerings in this accessible and encouraging paperback reprint.

From Library Journal

As scientists learn more about the disease-fighting compounds found in fruits and vegetables, it becomes clear that the more vibrantly colored the food, the more protection it may confer against specific diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and memory and vision loss pigment power, as it is called by the authors (Joseph is a lead scientist at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University). They recommend consuming nine to ten servings a day rather than the heavily promoted five-a-day, but the portions are small, and snacks and juices count. Libraries already owning David Heber's What Color Is Your Diet? (Regan Bks: HarperCollins, 2001) may not need to add this title, as both books cover substantially the same topic, with the exception of the nearly 80 recipes included here.

Book Description
Now in paperback, a revolutionary book about the amazing health potential of pigmented foods.

Color cures! That's the simple premise behind The Color Code. While we all know that healthy eating is the key to a long life, few people understand why the natural pigments that give fruits and vegetables their color can help protect your body too. Combining their expertise in aging and nutrition, a leading scientist and an outstanding physician show readers how to prevent the most common age-related illnesses through a simple multicolored eating plan. For generations, parents have been telling their children to eat their fruits and vegetables -- The Color Code finally tells why.

Honey

It would really take a whole seperate page to begin doing honey justice. If you search through the internet on honey it is about as close to a miracle substance as mother nature has to offer. Some of the many benefits of eating are stated as:

If you eat honey that is local to your area, it may prevent your seasonal allergies. Bees use the pollen from local plants and eventually it ends up in your honey.

Honey may also be effective in the treatment of stomach ulcers.

Honey is a good source of antioxidants. They play a big role in the prevention of cancer as well as heart disease. The darker the honey--the higher the level of antioxidants.

Honey is good for your skin. It has the ability to attract water. You can use honey instead of alpha hydroxy masks because if its high content of the acid. It is also safe for sensitive skin. You can also use it as a moisturizing mask for your skin as well as your hair.

Recent studies show honey is more effective than conventional treatments in healing burns allowing the skin to heal quicker with less scarring.

In recent research, it was demonstrated that in a survey of 100 people aged over 100 years old, over 80% of them regularly consumed honey.

Honey has long been used to treat wounds--the bacteria killing properties prevent infection.

Honey benefits human longevity due to its high-energy action, and the presence of chemical elements, vitamins and enzymes that are important for the good operation of the human body.

Dr. Peter Molan, MBE, Associate Professor in Biochemistry at the University of Waikato, has for the past 17 years researched into the healing properties of honey. He has shown scientifically that all honeys have varying degrees of healing properties. This is due mainly to the antibacterial agent, hydrogen peroxide, found in honey and which is effective against most strains of bacteria.

Recent studies indicate that honey found in New Zealand made from manuka plants is even more effective agains an even larger number of bacteria strains.

This list of beneficial properties of honey could be much longer, but I'll stop here. The internet is full of it for those who wish to research it further.

To learn more about the healthy benefits of honey visit The National Honey Board Website.
