Debunks the myths..and looks at what actually happens in your body when you eat * Woman's Own *
This informative book could challenge the way you think about food...in-depth but interesting * Health and Fitness *
Scholarly yet readable deconstuction of dieting...the most comprehensive book on the subject * Good Book Guide *
Read this, and you'll be astonished at the shaky foundations of dietary medicine and health advice... First off, I was struck by how little science does know, what we take for established fact if often partial truth at best. Conjectures are, apparently, made on imperfect research... compelling reading * Sue Baker, Publishing News *
This book is a most important contribution to Mankind - really an historic book * Jeremy Stone, longtime president, The American Federation of Scientists *
