Summary: BUYER BEWARE
Comment: I should have read the cover in greater detail. Most importantly, the book contains ONLY those foods which meet ALL the AHA criteria for total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. So when there is no listing for scallops, is it because they exceed the guidelines, or because they are too exotic? A few items ARE included at the beginning of each section under "items you want to limit or avoid". Not the book if you are ever willing to eat something outside the guidelines (or make the best of limited choices). I prefer being able to eat a smaller quantity if I know the fat value, for example, is high. And as I should have known by the title, the focus is on brand names - ad infinitum. Editorially, it is difficult to follow the internal category indexing - would be helped by a dictionary - style reference at the top of each page giving the major index. Other problems, such as "seafood" listed after "turkey" within the "meat, poultry, seafood, and Meat substitutes" section, but NOT because the categories are separated. I think I'm going to buy the USDA Handbook No. 8 for a good generic reference book.

Summary: Helpful Information on Sodium in Fresh Food
Comment: This is the only book I have found so far that has information on sodium in fresh food. I find the book somewhat confusing to use but it does give me the information I seek.
