| Summary |
"Was It Something You Ate? will help you to avoid suffering from food intolerance. The book identifies the small number of common chemicals that cause it, and lists the foods containing both high and low (or non-existent) levels of them. It also explains the difference between food intolerance (which we can all suffer from) and food allergy (which is very rare). Throughout, there are case studies of people who have been badly affected by their diet, until the cause was identified. All of the advice given in the book has been medically or scientifically substantiated."--BOOK JACKET. "This is emphatically not a 'scare' book to worry you about what you eat. The authors' objective is to help you get more enjoyment out of life by taking away some of the mystery surrounding food intolerance."--BOOK JACKET |
