Rating:
Summary: Author's Summary & Important Update
Review: A must read for anyone seeking clarity on what seems to be a constant barrage of confusing and often contradictory information about adopting a healthy diet. You will be surprised to discover that many of the basic tenets of "eating right" advocated by traditional sources are flatly contradicted by independent research and anthropological study. Cut through the marketing hype of today's low-carb craze and the politics of misguided regulatory agencies to learn exactly what you need to know. A first among the many books available on healthy eating, The Good Food Guide is concise and practical, easy for even the busiest readers to follow.

No doubt you have been told that milk "does a body good". But did you know that pasteurized, homogenized milk is one of the most highly processed foods on grocery store shelves? So much so, that it is as dangerous to your health as trans fats and has been linked to adult-onset diabetes and heart disease. All of the enzymes are destroyed, making the lactose difficult to digest, straining the pancreas. The cholesterol is oxidized, which makes it damaging to the arteries. The final insult is that the calcium is rendered insoluble, which means that it cannot be absorbed. If you think the answer is to substitute soy milk, you would be mistaken. Unfermented soy inhibits thyroid function, mineral absorption (especially calcium), and the production of important digestive enzymes.

In addition, you may be under the impression that the primary problem with processed sugar and refined carbohydrates is that they make you fat. The truth is, however, that these "foods" are making Americans very sick. Simple sugars (including refined carbohydrates from grains), like pasteurized milk, are the cause of many health problems including diabetes and heart disease. Corn, in particular, and vegetable oils, in general, are the cause of a litany of autoimmune disorders, most especially, inflammatory problems such as asthma, allergies and lupus.

The Good Food Guide presents salient and well-researched evidence on the most important health issue Americans now face - eating to be well. Find out what simple steps you can take to dramatically improve the quality of the food you eat. Hands down, The Good Food Guide is the most relevant piece of literature available to Americans today.
