Very interesting. I like their main idea. The reason I only gave it three stars is because for every single fruit practically it said, "And may be a good source for preventing certain types of cancer, but this is still really unknown..." I just got tired of hearing that over and over. And every time they went into great detail about the possibility, but how not enough research had been done to prove it yet. Just say, most fruits and veggies might help prevent certain types of cancer and be done with that part.
But I did like the unique things it had to say about each fruit and vegetable, such as how one man decided to eat a while basket full of tomatoes to prove they weren't poisonous, and hundreds of people came to watch him "commit suicide" and ended up being shocked that he survived. That was cool. And I liked how they divided everything up by color and showed what certain colors did for the body. Overall it did make me want to be more concious of adding more colorful fruits and veggies to my diet. I think I'll eat a blueberry any chance I get. :) A good, quick read.
