This book raises many good points. It presented me with the best arguments for organic food I have yet encountered. It convinced me that the modern science of nutrition stands on ground as shaky as psychology or economics; in that we can't run controlled experiments on any of those fields and they are probably wrong about many things.

Where I disagree with the author is that I don't think natural foods represent the best possible sustenance for humans. I think that eventually nutritional science will advance to the point of bettering our natural diets, even though I don't think we are there right now
