Review Quotes

At long last, a factual, easy-to-understand summary of which real Caribbean foods can not only solve nutrition problems but reverse them! Ranking Caribbean foods by the food groups makes it easy for readers to prioritize the disease-reversing foods. Giving each food a 10-star rating based on nutritional criteria makes it easy for readers to understand how each food earned its rating. Showing a visual of each food makes it easy for all Caribbean readers to recognize the foods. No chance of mistaking Jamaican ackee for Barbadian ackee (Jamaican guinep)! If you are a health reader, head straight to the Health and Dietary Benefits section. If you want a quick summary, head straight to the Nutritional Criteria and Rating table for each food. This is just what the Caribbean needs! This should be required reading for all but especially in schools and colleges!
