Title: This book is just awful
Review: I purchased this book because sports nutrition is a personal and vocational interest of mine, since I work as a professional health, medicine, and nutrition writer. This makes me familar with the latest research in sports nutrition, and I can verify after reading this book that you won't find the latest data here. The book has very few references, and the conclusions drawn by the author seem to be more based on his personal opinion than anything else. Even worse: he comes across as an elitist snob, yet makes errors to egregious that I question his knowledge of the subject. While it's true that the food supplement industry is often heavy into hype, Baugh condemns many products that he clearly knows nothing about, nor did he bother even researching them for this book. At the beginning of the book, he even denies the existence of sports nutrition itself! Anyone with any sense will save their money on this garbage book. You will learn absolutely nothing from it.
