Food Over Medicine is an outstanding resource for anyone wanting to maximize their health and minimize their dependence on western medicine." John Robbins, author of No Happy Cows and Diet for a New America Food Over Medicine explains nutrition in an original, highly compelling way.

"Although I agree with most of the things in the book, it's a shame that our health system has failed us."
"At times the frustration of the authors tends to work against their message that the underlying scientific evidence is clearly in support of what they are saying, but given the impact of how our current environment distorts the evidence of how we can live much better lives their frustration is understandable."
"Dr. Popper shares her expertise not only about the power of diet reversing and preventing disease, but also how diagnostic testing and the "health care" system can do us more harm than good."
