The Choose This Not That series are an excellent step towards improving peoples knowledge in this area.Shahin Tabatabaei, MDMass General Hospital; Harvard Medical SchoolThe Choose This Not That series of books and apps provide dietary recommendations focused on common chronic health problems. They are easy to understand and thus easy to implement into daily life. Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series. They should serve as a valuable complement in helping people manage chronic illnesses through dietary and lifestyle modifications.Andrew Lenhardt, MD Lahey Clinic, Hamilton, MA
