The Man Who "Vitamins" A Social Cause, July 3, 2000
This review is from: Vitamin E: For a Healthy Heart and a Longer Life (Paperback)
Herbert Bailey's first book about vitamin E, Vitamin E: Your Key To A Healthy Heart, was published in 1964. It was the first book on the subject of vitamins to sell a million copies. At that time, the cause for vitamins and "antioxidants" was considered the domain of crackpots and was generally dismissed by the medical establishment. This is not the case any more, but this is so largely due to the long (30-year) almost single-handed efforts of Herbert Bailey.
Herbert Bailey's latest book about vitamin is the only one of his seven books not out of print. For anyone interested in the history of the political struggle to make vitamins respected and mainstream, or anyone interested in the scientific subject of vitmins and vitamin E in particular, this book is essential reading, for Herbert Bailey is the Father of the Vitamin Revolution.
