If you can get past all the acronyms (all of which happen to end with D) without losing your mind, you might actually learn something from this book. NDD or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, a term coined by Dr. Sears, explains how poor nutrition is affecting your child’s health. Sears takes a lot of liberties in blaming it as the cause of almost every physical, mental or behavioral problem your child has. However, having said that, there is some really good information in the book. There are great tips on how to incorporate more healthy foods into your child’s diet including ways to introduce new foods to picky eaters, recipes, snack ideas and sample meals plans. The book includes a list of which fruits and vegetables are high in phytonutrients (and popular with kids) as well as an explanation of which food additives to avoid. If you skip over some of the medical information, there is a lot of good information to take away from this book.
