Your nutrition can determine how you look and feel: whether you are grouchy ... or cheerful, homely ... or beautiful, whether you think clearly ... or are confused, enjoy your work ... or make it a drudgery. 

 The application of nutritional knowledge in the kitchen has lagged decades behind the progress made in nutritional research. Only when nutrition is applied in planning and preparing meals day after day can best health be attained. Cover states: "Over 3,500,000 copies in print! Revised and updated".

Adelle Davis (1904-1974) was an American author and nutritionist, considered "the most famous nutritionist in the early to mid-20th century." She was as an advocate for improved health through better nutrition. She wrote an early textbook on nutrition in 1942, followed by four best-selling books for consumers which praised the value of natural foods and criticized the diet of the average American.
