I, personally, like a lot of information. But, I don't want to be slammed with information all at once. I like a simple, straightforward, commonsense approach. I appreciate when I get the big picture (i.e. an overview of everything) and then have the details filled in. So, I guess almost like a summarized/annotated outline for the first section and then delve into the information after that's all taken care of. And then, directions to where to find more information. Good resources to look into. Free are always better than ones I have to buy.
Don't know if that helps you any. Everyone is different. That's just how I like to get my information. Other people get overwhelmed if you give them the big picture (or they don't really want to see it at all), but I can't look at the details until you show me how they relate to each other. And other people will just read the summarized portion, without looking at the "exceptions" or whatever other qualifying information comes with it in the more detailed portion.
You've read lots of informational stuff. How do you like things to be approached? What is it that you dislike that people do when they write health/exercise tips/guidelines? What do you like?
I hate when they tell me it is impossible to get all your nutrients as a vegetarian. It's not impossible, you just have to work at it. But you have to work at it as an omnivore too. *shrug*
I also dislike when everything is directed at men and their bodies and body-types (yet they market the book/article/whatever as if it is applicable to both). All the "good" information I find is written for men. They write some whole sections very specifically for men, but if there is anything at all about women's health in it, it is little snippits. I never find anything great for women, but I don't look super hard either. I would really prefer something that is completely generic, applicable to everyone, and then if necessary it can branch off into men's vs. women's health (or ethnic health??? or kids vs. adults???) for certain sections. This is what I want though.
Have you found there is any real evidence that people from different parts of the world process particular foods differently? Or is that not something that interests you at all?
