Book Reviews of The Family Nutrition Book: Everything You Need to Know About Feeding Your Children - From Birth through Adolescence
Book Review: I love Dr. Sears, but this is not his area of expertise
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a big fan of the Sears Parenting Library. This is a great book for parents needing ideas on getting their family to eat healthier. It is a good start for families who eat too much junk- and fast-food. It emphasizes whole foods in their natural state, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
I love the Sears family for promoting Attachment Parenting and helping parents make informed decisions regarding their children's health. However, this book does not bring anything new to the table in terms of scientific information on nutrition. It holds the party line on popular nutritional myths, like saturated fats being dangerous and animal meats being unhealthy. Science and history do not support these conclusions. On the contrary, saturated fats are especially essential to children's development, and consumption of animal foods is the only way to ensure proper levels of certain critical nutrients.
For parents interested in the very latest on raising healthy children from preconception forward, I recommend Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) by Ramiel Nagel.
