Dr. Andrew Weil's Guide to Eating Well.

Good carbs, bad carbs? Low fat, no fat? Is protein the solution or the problem? After so much conflicting diet advice, one of America's best-known and most respected doctors offers a sensible approach that emphasizes enjoyment over deprivation and long-term health benefits over short-term weight loss. Dr. Weil assures us there is no confusion among nutritional experts about the optimal diet for health and longevity. And it's the very same diet that will naturally keep you at a healthy weight. Understanding inflammation to be the root cause of many chronic illnesses, he provides science-based recommendations to help combat specific health concerns, all as part of what he calls the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. He also addresses the subject of dietary supplements, what's downright dangerous and what can help.
