When I ordered this book, I was anticipating giving away my old 4th edition for a new one with improved information.NOT SO!The tables, the heart and soul of the book, have fewer foods and not more than the 4th edition.In a display of ignorant cost cutting, Carb counts for grains such as rice are given per cup of RAW not cooked product - same for macaroni whereas the 4th edition gives raw and cooked values.This alone makes it not worth the money but scattered throughout are foods that were there for 4th edition but are now gone.
The publisher probably saved money by eliminating pages but I can no longer recommend this book to friends; I advise them to not buy it but get a copy of the 4th edition instead.
