Book Reviews of Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right
Book Review: Nutrition Starts at Childhood!
Summary: 4 Stars
I speak as a parent of two young children, and I think this book is excellent. Finally a book that addresses how a child's eating patterns today setup a lifetime of habits. Every parent, teacher, doctor, and childcare provider should read this. You could be saving your children a few extra decades of life. If nothing else, they will live their life now with much greater vitality and health. He does recommend a vegan lifestyle. For those who think this is a bit much (me included), he offers alternatives. However, he makes such a great case for it, you may decide to go vegan or semi-vegan anyway. Book Review: Amazing Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must read for all parents and physicians. Dr. Fuhrman explains in plain english how to keep you and your children healthy for now and your lifespan with the simple vehicle of sound nutrition. He dispells most mainstream misinformation that is still provided to the general public with correct information that is unfortunatly not widely talked about in mainstream media/America.Book Review: definitely great read
Summary: 4 Stars

also recommend: "Processed People" DVD - Dr. Furhman is one of the commentators in this film and it is like changing.
Book Review: "Children aren't responsible for poor food choices--their parent's are."
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be required reading for everyone who has a child (or one on the way) or who works with children. Rather than pumping our children up with sugar, toxins, carcinogens and frankenfood and then medicating them for the side effects, why not just feed them what nature intended and watch them thrive. Behavioral issues as well as serious health concerns can be resolved, alleviated, or completely avoided with a few lifestyle adjustments.
Dr. Fuhrman drives home an important point: it's one thing to trash your own health with poor choices, but it's irresponsible to trash the health of trusting children.
The tone of the book is not scolding however, just direct. In fact when he's done explaining the consequences of poor food choices (diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.), he comes accross very upbeat and and encouraging with ideas for coping with the bombardment of toxic food out there. He also has great suggestions for meals and treats.
Forget about what one reviewer said about nut allergies. This book not only has alternatives for eating nuts, but offers suggestions to help Prevent nut allergies. I also don't agree with the person who says it's "difficult". It's very simple and straightforward and really the only thing making it difficult is lack of education, unscrupulous marketing techniques, and the limiting belief that children won't eat healthy food.
This is a book full of hope and an important work. At long last, an MD is addressing children's diets in a real way. Two books that go along quite nicely with this one is THE CHINA STUDY by Campbell and GREEN FOR LIFE by Boutenko. The former illustrates in great detail with hard evidence why a vegan diet is necessary and the later focuses on greens. GFL gave me the idea for green smoothies (example: bannanas and greens such as kale or swiss chard) which are a fantastic way of getting the daily comsumption of greens Dr. Fuhrman recommends. I have never been a fan of Kale, but you honestly cannot even taste it when prepared this way and kids Love it! You will need a high powered blender for this (Fuhrman recommends Vitamix, but I prefer the Blendtec) which is expensive, but worth every penny. In the end, this diet is way cheaper than the standard American diet (SAD).
This book is the real thing, nothing gimmicky at all. Read it and thrive!
Book Review: A "must have" book.
Summary: 5 Stars
Every parent not only should own this book but keep it within easy reach as it will become a valuable resource as you navigate your way through the bewildering world of feeding your child.
If only I would have had this book when my children were little I could have spared myself those constant trips to the pediatrician for ear infections, colds, allergies and asthma and saved myself a bundle on antibiotics.
Not to mention the pain and suffering of my children!
So do yourself and your kids a favor read this book and get yourselves on this life changing diet and good health will be one of those worries you will be able to scratch off of your life list.
Find out why the Standard American Diet is really just SAD food for you and your child.
The back of the book has recipies to help you on your way to a happy, healthy, long life.
No child need suffer these common childhood complaints Dr. Furhman tells it like it is...tells it like your doctor probably won't, your childs nutrition is the key to their good health.
