Cancer specialist Dr. Ron Citron spent years watching his patients dying of an illness that he felt could be prevented--a disease caused in part by poor eating habits. After much research into this area, Dr. Citron has created an anti-cancer diet based on the eating habits of our Cro-Magnon ancestors. Now he makes his "evolutionary diet" available to all. 16 color photos.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Cholesterol" is one of the most confusing words in the health world. Most people assume that because excess cholesterol in your blood is a bad thing, cholesterol in your diet must be dangerous, too. But, as Ronald Citron points out, the two things are unrelated. Excess cholesterol in your bloodstream comes from too much saturated fat in your diet. Eating high-cholesterol food such as shellfish and game meats is extremely healthy; they're generally low in fat and, more important, are extremely low in saturated fat. That's the "evolutionary" part of Citron's plan: if you eat the way our hunter-gatherer Cro-Magnon ancestors ate, you'll avoid health problems because you'll be eating the foods our bodies evolved to consume. More than half of the book consists of recipes and menu plans for putting Citron's theories into practice.

A tasty way to better health

July 31, 2015

Format: Hardcover

Dr. Citron makes a lot of good points that have been validated over the years. For me, he's preaching to the choir. I'm a believer. And now I am a better educated believer.

What I care about most are the recipes. Score! They are easy and tasty. I feel good about eating healthier--without sacrificing flavor or aesthetic appeal. He clearly knows his way around the kitchen.

Throughout this book, I get the feeling that he has a really positive outlook. His family must feel lucky to have him in their lives.

Format: Hardcover

The promise of the book is that it is a novel approace to diet based on the diet of our Cro-Magnon ancestors. Unfortunately, the author ignores much of the evidence from the paleontological record and picks and chooses whatever supports the standard low-fat noncense (the author is in a panic about saturated fats). While I will give him credit for incorporating wild game and other "flesh foods" into his program, he also includes foods that Cro-Magnon people rarely, if ever, consumed (such as dairy products and grains). He also includes sugar in many of his recipes. For a really compelling understanding of food as it relates to evolutionary theory, I suggest reading Peter D'Amamo's book "Eat Right For Your Type". Also, the Paleolithic Diet Page on the web has great articles and information.

Hunter Gathers Ate No Grains, Cro-Magnons not our ancestors

March 19, 1999

Format: Paperback

My review title tells it. You're a great cook, but next time, PLEASE do your homework before writing a book. Grains were not part of our diet until 10K years ago. The next person who writes something about how our ancestors ate whole grains for the 2.6 million period of human history should have their laptop taken away from them! Stick to cooking!
