The information is concise, easy to find, and easy to understand. It gives me an excellent point from which to start if I need to research a health problem further. It also helps me prepare for my doctors’ visits by knowing what to ask. I have changed my diet to include more healthy foods because of this book. As a relatively healthy 70-year-old male, I find this book invaluable.
