Review title: Short sighted Product review: The book starts out well, but the author shows his relative ignorance about alternatives to increase thyroid hormones without the use of dessicated thyroid. It is a hard pill to swallow (figuratively) that the only treatment is a lifelong regime of dessicated thyroid. Historic evidence of other societies other than Anglo-European shows a definitive lack of interest in science that may disagree with his hypothesis. This book calls to light the problems associated with hypothyroidism but does little to show how we actually arrived at this state (for example, why do we not see hypothyroidism in hunter-gatherer populations?). Read this for some useful information, but don't freak out with the doomsday conclusion(s) that the author offers.

Review title: I don't recommend this book Product review: My niece, who LOVES Angelina, was expecting a baby sister, so I was excited to find this book. I ordered it based on the other reviews. It started well, but when I reached the page where "At that moment she [Angelina] hated Polly [the new baby] and wished Polly would just disappear!" I was taken aback. Hated? My 3-year old niece does not yet know that concept, and I sure didn't want to be the one to introduce it! On the next page Angelina has a tantrum and completely trashes her room. I decided I didn't want to give my niece ideas like this - and didn't give her book. Very disappointing.

Review title: Works as promised Product review: We retired our previous citrus juicer. Wanted a better replacement and this was it. Solid with good power ... doesn't slow when you push down hard. It retains pulp nicely, but if you want some, you can just slop it over. No problems.
