BeyondThe120...: free old edition in French vs purchasing new edition in English

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

As the new edition of beyond 120 is not available in French (and

translating/finding the 'exotic' ingredients is not trivial), and I

have access to an old copy, I hesitate between reading the old edition

in French, or purchasing the new edition in English.

Questions:

- what's new in the new edition?

- does it justify purchasing the new edition?

Anybody?

My question is not about saving a few bucks, but rather to know if

there is enough valuable new stuff in the new edition to justify the

extra burden of having to translate the recipes, and ingredients.

Alain: I suggest you ask at Dr W's website what the changes are. It's:

www.walford.com. My latest copy is the year 2000 edition. I'm not aware of

a later one than that.

Francesca,

I'm seeking readers' opinion, not the writers' one.

Please reread my original message for my motivation (summary :

translating recipes and ingredients is not trivial. I'd prefer not to

have to.. if there is no good reason for it).

That's the new one

Neither am I.

The French edition is dated 1987.

I suspect there are people in this list who have read or browsed both

the 1987 and 2000 editions. It's their opinion I'm interested in.

Hi Francesca,

I'm new to learning CRON and don't have much of an understanding of the

details, yet. I do have the 1986 hardback version of 'The 120-Year

Diet'. I checked out from the Library a copy of the new edition.

Chapter 9 - The Whole Program - seemed to be substantially updated so I

made a copy of it and will eventually absorb it. I don't know what the

specific differences are though. Eventually I'll pick up the new

version from one of the online used book sellers. Right now I just

learning the basics and the old book with the copies I've made will do.

In the old version the Menu is for 20 days the new is for 14 days. The

receipes in the old are arranged alphabetically, in the new the recipes

are by category - Breakfasts, suces and spreads, salads, soups, main

dishes, grains, legumes, and pasta. It looks like a good number of the

new book's recipes are in the old version.

One of the old recipes, baked stuffed eggplant, I don't find in the

new. Also, Beer Slaw is not in the new. The CRON shake is in the new

version not the old.

The old version recipes lists Vitamin K, biotin, chromium which iare

not in the new version.

For recipes the old version may do just fine.

Take care, Easy

Thanks. That's the kind of info I need.
