Seidman Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:24:04 +0000 http://crohnshealingplace.com/?p=5#comment-15 The recipes in this book are standard cookbook fare. If you can eat spicy Creole dishes and a tossed salad with baby spinach, tomatoes, and sliced onion, you hardly need a special cookbook! If you can't eat those things, you'll be picking through this looking for appropriate recipes just as you would with any other cookbook. <br /> <br />The only difference between Roscher's recipes and traditional versions lies in her paranoid avoidance of saturated fat. For example, she recommends replacing butter with a butter/canola oil blend to reduce saturated fat. Bad advice for anyone with a diseased ileum: the shorter fat chains in butter are much easier to absorb than the longer fats in canola oil. <br /> <br />Not being a doctor or dietitian, she's also bought into some ridiculous health hype. She recommends that we use only omega-3 eggs. She clearly hasn't done the research to learn that the omega-3 fat in those eggs is mostly ALA, which has very little health value. (Like many non-professionals, she may have been confused by a study about liquid eggs enriched with the important omega-3 fats DHA and EPA, a totally different product from in-shell omega-3 eggs.) Given the high medical costs many of us suffer, I don't appreciate suggestions like these that simply waste money. <br /> <br />You can get recipes and bad nutritional advice for free on the Web, so there's really no reason to pay for this book.
