Reviews on Gut Insight
"...Hattner and Anderes have written a book that is easy
to follow and full of practical, simple suggestions to improve one’s
diet and health, based on scientifically sound principles. They provide tips
on shopping, food preparation and kitchen safety. In addition to thorough
discussions of probiotics and prebiotics, the authors advocate a plant-based
diet and explain the value of these functional foods. The final chapter of
the book discusses the use of probiotics and prebiotics through the various
stages of life, from newborn to senior...."

Altos Town Crier: Advice from the gut on digestive disorders Link
Nancy Dickenson, Head Librarian at Stanford Heath Library
As a physician board certified in gastroenterology and nutrition,
I found Gut
Insight to be an extremely well referenced resource
on probiotics and prebiotics for both the general public and health professionals.
The authors have produced a unique and valuable book on digestive health
that I can confidently recommend to both my patients and my colleagues.

Brava to Jo Ann Hattner and Susan Anderes for
assembling a wonderfully complete, concise and authoritative guide to the world
of gut health! Here the reader can finally gain a thorough understanding of the
world of pro- and prebiotics and appreciate why they can’t live without them. I especially love Hattner’s
real-life case examples of patients who have benefited from her years of wisdom.
The inclusion of product examples along with some simple and tasty recipes
really makes this guide useful to both consumer and health professional, alike.
Get ready to dig into a great and fun read that offers lifestyle recommendations
that are easy to digest (pun intended!).
"...Digestive health is such a hot topic that the dairy aisle is bursting
with new yogurts, drinks and smoothies claiming to improve your health. Though
there is a lot of interest in gut health, where do you ask a question and how
can you sort it all out? Hattner, a registered dietitian and nutritionist for
Stanford University, has compiled the essential consumer guide on probiotics
and prebiotics for wellness...."

Gut
Insight not only answered all my questions but provided invaluable
information about the products and foods I should be including in my meal
plans. I also was introduced to prebiotics and the relationship between the "gut" and
our body's general immunity. I was completely unaware of prebiotics and the
authors explained their function well and the foods which contain them. The
various digestive problems were discussed. The book stressed getting what
we need through food rather than supplements.

I read through Gut
Insight this afternoon. It reads very well. I particularly found useful
the boxed inserts: the glossary terms located specifically throughout the
book keep the reader on track and improve understanding, use of the boxes
to summarize key concepts also helped to bring home the take-away messages.
I like the flow of the book through to shopping, storage, menu and recipe
ideas. This allows the reader to internalize/conceptualize the material.

Consultant
I found this book extremely informative and engaging. The updated scientific
knowledge about prebiotics and probiotics has been extensively researched and
is well presented. The lucid writing style will appeal to consumers who are
often unsure about purchasing new products from the shelves of supermarkets
and specialty food stores.

and School Health Counselor
I am so delighted to have a book like Gut
Insight since
I have been an enthusiastic consumer of food for over half a century. The
text information is informative, the web connections encourage exploration,
and the links to healthy recipes are a bonus. I look forward to having this
book to explore many.htmlects of what we all should like to do...eat healthy
foods!
Marlene Lucas, Nurse and Consumer
The book is very informative, especially since I recently found out that I
am lactose intolerant. The authors have a nice way of organizing and presenting
the information in a way that people can use.
