Summary

From two leading authorities in clinical nutrition comes this practical consumer-health and patient-care book, diagnosing the dangers of our modern low-fiber and high-carbohydrate diet, while prescribing an optimum diet of nutrient-rich food and supplements for better health. The authors identify the nutritional deficiencies and dependencies caused by our 'junk-food' diet that have resulted in public malnutrition and serious dietary diseases and disorders. They recommend a diet that is whole, alive, fresh, and varied, rather than processed, dead, stale, and monotonous. For individuals with nutrient deficiencies and dependencies, they provide appropriate vitamin, mineral, essential fatty acid, and amino acid therapy programs.
