With a record number of overweight people and an alarming increase in degenerative diseases, many of us find ourselves turning to meds or fad diets in an effort to drop excess pounds or recover our health. Since most drugs come with dangerous side effects, modifying our diet would seem relatively safe and simple. But what if our foods were doing more harm than good, and fad diets only made matters worse? Deadly Harvest is a groundbreaking book that carefully examines how the foods we eat today have little in common with the foods of our ancestors, and why this fact is so important to our health. It also offers a proven program to enhance health, combat illness, and improve longevity. Author Geoff Bond is a nutritional anthropologist who has for years investigated both foods of the past and our prehistoric eating habits. Using the latest scientific research and studies of primitive tribal lifestyles, Bond first explains the actual diet that our ancestors followed--a diet that was and still is in harmony with the human species. He then describes how the foods in today's diets disrupt our biochemistry and digestive system, leading to health disorders such as allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and more. Most important, he explains the appropriate measures we can take to avoid these diseases--and even beat them back--through healthy eating. Contrary to what many people believe, the disorders that plague our society are not inevitable, but are the unfortunate result of modern dietary choices. Deadly Harvest not only explains why these problems have arisen, but offers a blueprint for improving our diet, our health, and our quality of life.

Geoff got a proper degree in applied science from London University in 1964 and completed post-graduate professional qualifications in 1968.
He spent his early career living and working in remote African villages where he widened his earlier studies in anthropology, biochemistry, and evolutionary human development.
At the cutting edge of this new science of nutritional anthropology, and bringing intellectual rigor to the latest findings, Geoff developed the complete process for living in harmony with our naturally adapted lifestyle.
From his research on human origins and our ancient nutritional heritage, Geoff has become a recognized authority on what it means to be human in lifestyle terms.
Geoff's latest book, Deadly Harvest: The Intimate Relationship Between Our Health and Our Food is designed to be a work that doctors can trust, and is heavily credentialed with 35 pages of peer-reviewed references.
Geoff trained as a speaker with the Los Angeles chapter of the National Association of Speakers. He speaks to corporations, hospitals, clinics, business groups, schools, companies, charities etc. both in America and in Europe. With his controversial yet life-enhancing message, Geoff is a popular TV and radio talk show personality.
As a lifestyle anthropologist, Geoff believes in living in places which have sunshine and palm trees: he currently lives with his wife, Nicole, in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
Geoff is a trained and regular speaker to physicians and the general public. There is much more about Geoff on his website: www.geoffbond.com.
