Fruit Infused Water: 98 Delicious Recipes for Your Fruit Infuser Water Pitcher by Rockridge Press, Susan Marque
4.0
The recipes for fruit infusion are great and the advice to get the most out of your fruit was helpful.
Overall, I found the book a little strange. It talks about the properties of the fruits, but we aren't eating them so I'm not sure one is getting any health benefit a whole fruit would provide. The book talks about how dangerous sugar is, but again part of what we are pulling out of the fruit is the sugar. Fruit infused water is certainly better than juice or soda but I don't know it's as healthy as straight water or even unsweet tea. Obviously these are questions we'd need more research to have answers for, but I did find aspects implying health benefit to be misleading.
A good recipe book but a bad health book.
