Summary: The Best Gift This Year!
Review: I received "The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention" a few days ago for my birthday and have not been able to put it down since. I know, that sounds like something one would say about a good novel, not a diet book, but this isn't your typical "diet" book. It outlines all the different "diseases" that are CAUSED by diet, and provides a roadmap for reversing or stopping the damage. As I read the "Vegan Diet...", I can't help but think about the friends and family that I have that could be helped by following the advise given within. From the coworker with a daughter "diagnosed" with A.D.D. (this same coworker blurted out the other day that Cheetos must be healthy because they have "cheese" on them), to my dangerously overweight cousin, everyone knows someone that could be helped by this book. I know what many of my friends will be getting for Christmas this year, a copy of this book!

Summary: Here's the Why? Where's the How?
Review: It's amazing to see the explosion in books offering veganism as the solution to the world's ills.

It's like someone suddenly turned a light on and everyone woke up this year and went "oh yeah" - "of course" - "doh"

Perhaps it's more to do with a vegan lifestyle becoming easier to adopt than ever before due to shelf-loads of delicious new vegan products hitting the stores.

Having read this book that explains the "Why" or rather "Why not?" so succinctly then the next step is to discover the "HOW"

You better grab a copy of Hamlyn's new vegan cookbook with delicious healthy recipes ISBN: 0600611906 before it sells out.

A great new healthy vegan cook book by a dynamic UK nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston BSc Dip ION MBANT who works at The Food Doctor in London.

With a great deal of ingenuity her award winning food mad vegan husband has devised recipes such as black forest chocolate cake with orgasmic chocolate mousse, lime souffles, Bannofee dairy free Ice Cream and lots of mains and starters too.

Good luck with helping make the world a better place!

Summary: Essential for Anyone Looking to Prevent Chronic Disease
Review: The author writes with zeal about the "new medicine", vegan diet. Full of refrences and detail, this is a solid discussion of how chronic disease can be prevented (and managed/reveresed) with diet. As a vegan for over 3 years and a Registered Nurse, I thought I knew it all, but this book proved me wrong. Your average physician is going to do one thing, wait until you have disease and then prescribe medication or surgery to "manage it." You can do better. Take matters into your own hands and read this book! Highly recommended.

Summary: Could be used as a research reference
Review: This book is a very easy read, even though it is packed with more references to research than I have ever seen in a book of this type before. Now more than ever I believe we are what we eat.

Summary: A must for anyone concerned about health!
Review: This book is absolutely amazing! Packed with facts about food and how the body reacts to the overly processed, chemical laden junk that the food industry passes off on the unsuspecting consumer. If you are interested in how to live a healthy lifestyle, but aren't interested in fads or kidney damaging diets (Atkins, anyone?) then you owe it to yourself to read this book!

Summary: The absolutely BEST disease prevention book yet
Review: This book is one of the most informative and best written works I have read on either the vegan diet or chronic disease prevention. It is also interesting from a historical perspective, as well as religious. There is more valuable information packed into this little volume than you can ever imagine. It would be a steal at 10 times the price. A must read for everyone!

Summary: Why isn't this on store shelves?
Review: This book is the finest disease prevention book that's come out in a very long time. My question is: Why isn't this on the shelves of every bookstore and why isn't it being promoted by the "natural/health" food stores? Is the publisher not promoting this as it should be? It is a great resource for everyone, as disease prevention and as a diet, as well as historical information. It is a shame, in my opinion, that more people will not have the opportunity to read and learn from it merely because it is not being promoted as it deserves to be. Whoever has dropped the ball on this one, get with it!!!!
