Book Reviews of Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins
Book Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
The authors are Glycemic Index researchers and thus have an ax to grind. I found this book to be very repetitious and in many places I felt that I was being talked down to. The Glycemic Index tables seem to be pretty worthless since different researchers get wildly different values and the results are often based on tests of no more than 5-10 people. All of the information in this book is available free on the internet. No matter what claim is made about nutrition, you can almost always find a diametrically opposed viewpoint. The main advice in this book boils down to eat a varied diet and avoid too much junk food and saturated fats. Hardly worth over 300 pages let alone a whole slew of books.
