Product Description
Setting the record straight once and for all, Genocide: How Your Doctor's Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!!!! by Dr. James E. Carlson breaks the chains of ignorance when it comes to dieting and staying healthy. Concern for his patients led this medical doctor to unveil common misconceptions regarding carbohydrates, fat, proteins, sugars and cholesterol that are perpetrated and perpetuated by the medical community. Regrettably, with the advice of doctors millions of Americans are eating themselves into an early grave. Now, avoiding a priori reasoning, readers are able to draw their own conclusions on what lifestyle is best for them and how to initiate the most sensible diet possible. Take back your life-the fact is that low fat, low cholesterol diets are dangerous. With humor, wit and a good dose of common sense, this guide shows readers that a diet with daily sources of fat, cholesterol and protein is effective in treating disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing way to Live!, March 14, 2008

By	Sean Gallagher "Sean" (usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have tried the two main low carb diets that are available and though they work, why I should remain on the diet was never fully explained. I read the books, followed the diet plan, and after a tremendous effort, I would eventually go back to the foods I was eating before. After reading Genocide, I now understand WHY I can't eat those foods. Genocide is a no nonsense approach to healthier living through correct nutrition and the application of simple scientific facts. In our society of instant gratification, plentiful amounts of any food, and the ability to buy most anything, sticking to the dietary example of Dr. Carlson is hard, but it is truly worth the effort. I understand the need to keep my distance from sugars and carbs, and because I do I have no problem sticking to the dietary changes offered by Dr. Carlson. Once you read this book, you will want to buy copies for your friends. You could pass on your copy, but then you wouldn't be able to read it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Believe It!, April 1, 2008

By	A. Reader - See all my reviews

I have been a patient of Dr. Jim's for 6 years and have been following his advice regarding carbs, fat and cholesterol. I have experienced every benefit he describes in this book (with wit and wisdom mixed with solid facts).I have never been healthier. As a 60 year old grandmother my cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure are all great and I take no medications. Everyone should not only read this book, they should buy it for their families and friends. Share the knowledge. Do it for someone you love!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Choir--to Whom One Preaches Sometimes--ME!, March 23, 2008

By	Bente Videbaek "devourer of books" (NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a very new patient of Dr. Carlson's. So new, in fact, that I had no idea this book would be out till I saw a stack in the front office and snagged me one (double co-pay!) out of curiosity about my new doc-guy. I had time over this weekend and read the book. OK, Dr. Jim is somewhat repetitive in his style, but many of us need that. He is also funny, which all of us need. What's better, I agree with him! I have no medical background to speak of, but I have been resisting fad diets and fad findings all my life since, at the age of 10 in my case, butter had been in and out of grace several times. At that point--early rebellion--I decided to eat what I like to eat and skip the rest. Lucky for me, I do not like sweet things. Now I am justified. But I don't like butter either, so where does that leave me... All in all, I am a very healthy, I believe, late-middle-aged woman, and I firmly believe that my good health (apparently I have beat Crohn's...) is due to my diet. Go with Dr. Jim! He rocks! And life is much sweeter without sacrifice, and without a bad conscience!
