This was more effective for me than Expecting Better, probably because there are fewer medically risky recommendations. While some readers may be frustrated by her "here's the data, do what's best for you and your family" approach, I appreciated that there's more neutrality here than the clear bias presented in her previous book. (Except for vaccines. Completely agree with her on that one.) I also took issue with folks who used Expecting Better as their pregnancy rulebook, so I like the pick-and-choose aspect of this one.
