  The Crazy Makers
Review created: 02/07/07

I love this book. It is incredibly informative about the American diet that we eat. Not only is this about food, it contains information about additives that are harmful to the body.
This book not only talks about the food that we take into our bodies, but the output and results of the food that is manufactured, such as potato chips, refined foods, etc.
What I thought was interesting was the fact that nursing mothers have much more complete nutrition than the infant formulas. I already knew this, but it went into greater detail about mother's milk versus infant formula.
I would suggest everyone in the USA to read this book. You will come away with some very powerful information, and hopefully you will change your diet to the food that is not refined.

If you think "you are what you eat" then this book will scare you silly. Excellent information about how our American diet got so skewed over time, based on marketing and money, ignoring health warnings and covering up potential problems.

The scariest part to me was reading about how so many mothers switched to baby formula instead of breast feeding because they trust their doctors - and their doctors were pressured by the formula marketing into recommending formula instead of breastfeeding.

But then there's the part about MSG (monosodium glutamate) in baby foods (and others)...

This is an eye-opener.
