Review
"The three new features - The X and Y files, FAQs and Consumer Health Watch - are excellent additions for enhancing an individual's health awareness.(...) The reader can easily find a particular "feature" of interest for each of the chapters. The power point slides and CNN video for each chapter are especially valuable support materials."
