 Must read for all students in high school 2010-03-22 |
| By M. Biedermann (Salt Lake City) |
This book should be required reading for all high school and college students.
The cost of health care in human suffering and dollars could be reduced greatly. |
| A must read if you are committed to enjoying good health and reversing disease 2010-03-21 |
| By Kevin Burch |
March 2010
This study provides empirical evidence with surveys from 6,500 adults in 65 counties, representing 2,500 counties and all across China. The authors exhaustively will dawg the reader to conclude that a diet of greens, fruits and plant protein is the best choice while linking cancer to animal protein including dairy milk.
Being mostly vegan, this is not difficult for me however for the typical US family with children, it takes a lot of determination to accomplish this but well worth the effort to change to a this type of diet. For those that are faced with heart or diabetes, and need the facts to be convinced, this read is a must. Keep in mind that diet always needs to be coupled with movement, activity and exercise.
It is revealed that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as obesity, this book really questions the diet practices in the West, specifically addressing the Atkins diet with fact to support how harmful it is.
Of particular interest and unique for any book, much less one that is focused on diet |
| The China Study 2010-03-21 |
| By Fred De Marco (Milford, Michigan USA) |
| This book stands out for its enlightenment of the bodily functions regarding diet and long term good health. It reveals the importance of healthy eating and how vital nutrition is to the betterment of life. The fact that cancer and many other diseases have a direct connection to the lack of good nutrition is defined so wonderfully in this book. It is changing my selection of the foods I consume now and I regard nutrition with greater understanding. I've not finished the book, but I will be very soon and I will pass it on to my children hoping this will help them to secure a better future, both physically and mentally. I've touted this book to all those that will listen and I most certainly let them know I purchased it through Amazon.com. at a very reasonable price. |
| A life changing book 2010-03-20 |
| By Jalna (Florida) |
| This is one of the most important books of my life and it will become an increasingly important book for Americans who need an alternative to the traditional health care system. If you want to be healthy, stay healthy and avoid doctors and hospitals, this book is a must read. I believe it is the solution to a million global problems. Make this book your priority. |
 Absurd advice only an American would follow 2010-03-19 |
| By S P |
Humans evolved as hunter-gatherers. One of the main driving forces behind human social cooperation and increase in brain size, as well as pattern recognition, was the hunt for animal meat. Almost all human societies, to this day, eat animal products of one kind or another.
It's overkill to think that a diet based only on plants is best. It neglects that throughout human history, fish have been one of the healthiest foods one can eat (perhaps not so much now, due to toxins). It neglects that even red meat consumed in minimal amounts is quite alright. Granted, if all you are eating is red meat and dairy, that's a different story.
Where is the balance? In my opinion, Americans are so confused and frightened by the obesity crisis that they are willing to believe anything about any diet, in their never ending quest to eliminate all pain and suffering and be the first person to live to 200 years. Get over yourselves! Are Americans really that crazy? Half of them obese and in terrible heath, and half of them so obsessed with disease that they try to avoid anything that may or may not cause it. I'm sure most Chinese people would laugh at this book.
Of course, a mostly plant based diet is probably healthier. Notice how I said mostly, not entirely. There is no magic bullet to health. The author is doing a disservice to many people (but a great service to himself through book sales to zealous vegans) when he implies that all chronic disease can be prevented, if only people would eliminate animal products from their diet.
Just because the author is credentialed does not mean he knows everything. Smart individuals can sometimes be predisposed to trying to find a "theory of everything" in this field - see Linus Pauling and Vitamin C.
If there was a diet that everybody could and would follow that would enable all of to avoid disease, it would have been found long ago.
Bottom line - if you want your kids to grow up fragile and dimwitted, and if you want to miss out on one of the enjoyments of life, by all means, avoid eating meat. |
