There are SO many food myths out there, and the more "indigenous" the ingredient the more the beneficial myths around it abound.

O. Barnack: This is a cookbook that consists mostly of its 208 recipes, excepting Introduction and first chapter, which describes what the Sebi diet is and how it works according to its creator. It is well written and edited, and the recipes have good color photos of each recipe’s results. If you know little or nothing about its healthfulness and safety, be aware that expert opinions vary, so it’s wise to do research before you try it. The diet description in the Introduction summarizes the diet in terms of vegan in nature but a stricter dietary plan, and supplements to detoxify body and restore alkalinity. It also discusses possible advantages and disadvantages. Each recipe is described with a name, color photo, prep time, cooking time, serving time, ingredients, directions, and nutrition in grams of calories, fat, carbs, and protein. The recipes are given in chapters 2-9, grouped together by category: salads (recipes 1-15); desserts and snacks (16-30; soup, stews, and sauce (31-40); vegetables (41-70; grains and main dishes (71-108); smoothies, juice, and parfaits (109-178); sea moss recipes (179-198); and herbal tea recipes (199-208).
