view | The Body Book for Girls There is a lot to learn when growing from a little girl to a young woman, and this happy book from the American Girl company gets right to the point in a frank and warm conversational tone. There are no taboo topics—this head-to-toe guide answers every question! Covers basic hygiene and grooming, body changes, braces, bad breath, pimples, breast growth, first bra, shaving your legs, sleep problems, getting your period, choosing and using feminine products, nutrition, eating disorders, and emotions . . . plus lots more! (There is no information on sex.) Some of the colorful cartoon drawings are a bit graphic, but a girl has got to know what she needs to know, and this is the most user-friendly book I've found on the subject. Paperback, color drawings, 104 pages.

view | Whole Foods for the Whole Family La Leche League (the breast-feeding moms' group) did what it takes a lifetime to do-gather recipes from mothers all over the nation who have converted over to whole foods (meaning whole grains rather than refined flours, and honey or fruit sweeteners instead of sugar). My copy of this excellent cookbook is bedraggled and beloved. Now, it has been printed with a hard cover and large spiral binding so yours won't wear out like mine did! All 900 recipes have passed the taste test and are wholesome and nutritious. Quick and complete, make-it-from-scratch instructions make this valuable indeed. This book's "Making Your Own" section taught me how to make my own cream of mushroom soup, granola, enchilada sauce, and buttermilk. Instructions are also given on how to cook all the grains and beans, and what to serve them with to create a protein complement. Besides your normal cookbook sections of breads, main dishes (meat and meatless), and desserts, wonderful information is also included on breakfasts, lunch recipes, baby's first foods, non-allergenic recipes, sprouting, and using natural food dyes for Easter eggs or in cooking. I have often referred to the quick meals listed in the section entitled, "When It's 4 o'clock" to find out what I can scurry together for dinner. You will use it daily—one of my favorite cookbooks! 364 pages.

view | Nourishing Traditions In no period of our history have Americans been so concerned about the subject of diet and nutrition. Heart disease and cancer were rare at the turn of the century. Today, chronic illness afflicts nearly half of all Americans and causes three out of four deaths in the United States. In this unique cookbook, author Sally Fallon challenges the "politically correct" diet and nutrition of our day. The recipes are based upon traditional cooking methods and ingredients that have created good health in the people who ate that way for centuries. Many well-known cooking methods and knowledge which creates good health and which have been lost are brought back to light in this book. This is not just a cookbook either—my favorite parts are the interesting traditional cooking methods, eating habits of people around the world, and voluminous research data found on each page next to the recipes. Here are the much needed recipes to put the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration into practice. Paperback, 618 pages.

view | Suicide by Sugar Take a very startling look at our nation's #1 addiction. Sugar is truly addicting, something that I never really believed before, although I think I intuitively knew it. Look what happens when we eat our favorite ingredient: research facts link a range of disorders—from dementia and hypoglycemia to obesity and cancer—to our growing addiction to sugar. Some of this was really shocking to me, such as the fact that in our current medical system, nutritive medical liquids such as IV solutions, Ensure, baby Ensure, and new baby liquids and other things are mostly sugar! The author suggests a cheaper alternative for Ensure: soda pop plus a multi-vitamin, since that is basically the ingredients. Other amazing information will make you think twice about your own sugar consumption—we all want to be healthy! There is a way out of this sugar problem. The author presents an escape route, a sound diet plan that leads the way to good health, along with a number of recipes for sweet, easy-to-prepare, delectable dishes—all made without sugar or fruit. I found this book to be a gem. Paperback, 176 pages.
