This is an excellent primer on nutrition, and it's important to note that it is based on scientific research. This book will explain why the standard American diet of animal products and refined carbs is making us sick and fat, giving us type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, among a host of other ailments. While the USDA food pyramid has traditionally been based on demands from the agribusiness lobby (livestock, dairy, etc.), this book focuses solely on what science has shown us.
