Product Description: Aimed
at nothing less than totally restructuring the diets of Americans,
Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy may well accomplish its goal. Dr.
Walter C. Willett gets off to a roaring start by totally dismantling
one of the largest icons in health today: the USDA Food Pyramid that
we all learn in elementary school. He blames many of the pyramid's
recommendations--6 to 11 servings of carbohydrates, all fats used
sparingly--for much of the current wave of obesity. At first this
may read differently than any diet book, but Willett also makes a
crucial, rarely mentioned point about this icon: "The thing to keep
in mind about the USDA Pyramid is that it comes from the Department
of Agriculture, the agency responsible for promoting American
agriculture, not from the agencies established to monitor and
protect our health." It's no wonder that dairy products and
American-grown grains such as wheat and corn figure so prominently
in the USDA's recommendations. |

Product Description:Reviewed
by Pamela KaufmanPollan (The Botany of Desire)
examines what he calls "our national eating disorder" (the Atkins
craze, the precipitous rise in obesity) in this remarkably
clearheaded book. It's a fascinating journey up and down the food
chain, one that might change the way you read the label on a frozen
dinner, dig into a steak or decide whether to buy organic eggs.
You'll certainly never look at a Chicken McNugget the same way
again.Pollan approaches his mission not as an activist but as a
naturalist: |

Fiber not only stops hunger, but it also significantly lowers the
risk of heart disease, colon cancer, and a host of other conditions. |

Product Description:According
to nutritionist Nestle (Food Politics), the increasing
confusion among the general public about what to eat comes from two
sources: experts who fail to create a holistic view by isolating
food components and health issues, and a food industry that markets
items on the basis of profits alone. She suggests that, often,
research findings are deliberately obscure to placate special
interests. Nestle says that simple, common-sense guidelines
available decades ago still hold true: consume fewer calories,
exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables and, for today's
consumers, less junk food |

Product Description:Referred
to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times,
this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition
with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across
China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between
nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing
that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and
reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls
into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs,
such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The
politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in
the creation and dissemination of public information are also
discussed. |

health, and our good will to test the proposition that modern
science can improve upon nature. In The Hundred-Year Lie,
investigative journalist RandallFitzgerald shatters dozens of myths
being perpetuated by the chemical, pharmaceutical and processed food
industries. |

Product Description:If
there ever was a pair of docs who can make the small intestine seem
truly intriguing, here they are. Dr. Mehmet Oz is an
alternative-medicine maverick and a cardiologist known to implement
acupuncture during open-heart surgery. Dr. Michael Roizen developed
the
RealAge concept of calculating one's biological, as
opposed to chronological, age. Here they've whipped up a witty guide
to the workings of the entire body, appropriate not just for those
who can't tell their pancreas from their pituitary. Even Cheers’
Cliff Claven types who think they know it all will likely be humbled
by the 50-question "body-quotient" quiz that starts off the book. |

Product Description:If
you've ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn't work for you...
well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it's a fad
diet. But it could also be that you're the wrong blood type for the
kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive
argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells
you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless
calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood
types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes
type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations |
