Publisher's summary

The follow-up book to the hugely best-selling Nourishing Traditions, which has sold over 500,000 copies, this time focusing on the immense health benefits of bone broth by the founder of the popular Weston A Price Foundation.

Nourishing Broth: An Old-Fashioned Remedy for the Modern World

Nourishing Traditions examines where the modern food industry has hurt our nutrition and health through over-processed foods and fears of animal fats. Nourishing Broth will continue the look at the culinary practices of our ancestors, and it will explain the immense health benefits of homemade bone broth due to the gelatin and collagen that is present in real bone broth (vs. broth made from powders).

Nourishing Broth will explore the science behind broth's unique combination of amino acids, minerals, and cartilage compounds. Some of the benefits of such broth are: quick recovery from illness and surgery, the healing of pain and inflammation, increased energy from better digestion, lessening of allergies, recovery from Crohn's disease, and a lessening of eating disorders because the fully balanced nutritional program lessens the cravings which make most diets fail. Diseases that bone broth can help heal are: Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Psoriasis, Infectious Disease, digestive disorders, even Cancer, and it can help our skin and bones stay young.

In addition, the audiobook will serve as a handbook for various techniques for making broths - from simple chicken broth to rich, clear consommé, to shrimp-shell stock. A variety of interesting stock-based recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from throughout the world will complete the collection and help everyone get more nutrition in their diet.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Loved it

So far so good trying it now to see how it goes
From what I read I loved it and it made some sense

amazing information

I loved it and already using the knowledge to improve on my family diet. great information very timely needed with all of us getting sick from commercial foods

Excellent, with one exception

In general, I am a huge proponent of bone broths, and I found this book to be the most definitive resource for its history, preparation, and use.

Most of the book is gold, although it makes some bold claims. I "bought-in" completely until the chapter where it was explicitly suggested that bone broth could cure cancer -- not just prevent it or nourish those suffering from it. I understand that the authors' argument was more nuanced than my statement and that it did make a point to reference several related studies, however it seemed rather biased and I was actually quite insulted by the suggestion, as I'm sure many others who have dealt with cancer in their lives would agree.

That being said, this book was still worth the read and the recipes for interested listeners.

wonderful research to support nourishing diet

loved it! The books connections and research link is wonderful. its also very inspiring to eat broth daily!! I also love the references to the GAPS diet, what a profoundly healing nutrition lifestyle plan!! Thank you ladies :) what a blessing.

Very Informative

This is a great book. It is a treasure trove of great information to help your overall health as well as heal from sickness. About a year ago I started making bone broth to help heal Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, an upper GI digestive disorder. I attributed bone broth to my rapid healing and was just looking for more tasty recipes when I found this book. It is by far the most comprehensive explanation as to why bone broth is so healthful that I have ever come across. It wasn't out when I started my path down the bone broth road and I am unbelievably happy it is now!!! You will probably want the kindle or physical book for reference after listening to it though. There is just so much great information!

Great information

Yes, a book on bone broth was great to listen to. I learned a lot about nutrition.

lots and lots of info

This was very informative, but was a bit overwhelming with the amount of detail and references to reserch only a scientist would fully understand.

Great information, so glad I found this book!

I have been so fortunate to find this book. I am grateful to authors for researching and presenting the information in such an understandable format.

Motivating

Haven't reviewed the pdf yet. I enjoyed the health information based on the scientific research even if none of it was recent. I definitely feel motivated to drink more broth and to try fish broth now. The speaker has a slightly annoying accent and she does sound like she is reading without always comprehending but she was one of the authors and I like that.

Inspiration For Including Broth In Your Diet

First off, I wanted to correct the review that said the audio download did not include the recipes. The PDF is available in one's Audible library, and it was very easy to download and read (and print if one wanted). I read it, and it was all fine - though I probably will just continue using the broth and soup recipes I've already been using and those available in my cookbooks and online.

First off, this isn't rocket science, and what science there is is not definitive - in my non-professional opinion. Hard core believers or deniers may disagree, but I am comfortable thinking that the scientific studies sited are mostly old, and we don't have a chance to check the methodology. The pharmaceutical industry is looking elsewhere and there isn't much money behind the 'bone broth lobby'. I think that eating traditional foods and a variety of foods is valuable, so I don't demand nutritional science back up every food choice. I listened to the book because I already think broth is a good traditional food, and one I would like a bit more motivation to incorporate it in my diet more regularly.

I read/listen to many audio books, since I am at home, usually without anyone else, doing fairly menial labor for most of the day. If I was a very busy person, who had very limited time, I would probably have skipped this book. As it is, I'm glad I listened, but I suspect that a very busy person could probably get as much information as they needed by checking the Weston A. Price Foundation website or many of the websites devoted to "nourishing" and "traditional" foods, the GAPS diet, paleo diets, etc.

I am in my late fifties now, and noticing the way older women often retreat into the background in larger society - men no longer notice us and we aren't seen on television shows as leading (or even 'sidekick' characters), or experts, or news reporters, etc. [Admittedly, I don't watch much TV, so maybe I'm missing a whole genre on some channel.] But I realized that I really didn't much like listening to the narrator, and that part of my resistance was that she sounded like an old woman - sorry, I know, it's not fair, and as I say, I'm one myself! This was not a professional narrator. She did fine, but it wasn't a very luxurious listen.

So, I'm glad I listened. It was not a 'fun' listen, but it was moderately interesting, and given the amount of time I have to listen to audiobooks and my interest in traditional, slow foods, I am glad to have heard the material.
