Reviews
"'At last an enlightening well researched and practical book on keeping our children fit and healthy in today's society. With so much conflicting advice in all forms of today's media it has become almost impossible to split fact from fiction. This book helps us to do just that by examining the latest evidence based research and putting it together in a clear and easy to read book that is made up of both facts and common sense. An absolute must for all caring parents and health care professionals alike.' Jane DeVille-Almond, Independent Nurse Consultant and a Director of the NOF"
