PRICELESS INFROMATION

I BOUGHT FIFTY OF THESE TO GIVE OUT TO MY PATIENTS.I AM A WELLNESS PHYSICIAN. IT IS SO FULL OF GREAT INFORMATION TO HELP PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT OUR FOOD SUPPLY IS IN THIS COUNTRY AT THIS TIME. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ALL PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR HEALTH.

Short, simple and to the point.

Mary Frost doesn't waste time with meaningless filler or techno-babble. Going Back to the Basics of Human Health is packed with insightful knowledge about how the human body is designed to process the food we eat... and what that food is supposed to contain... in a short, easy to read layout.She compares today's foods with those that were available in the 1940's and 50's... citing that fruits and vegetables of today contain only a fraction of the nutrients that were available in the same foods only a few decades ago.Mary Frost uses layman terminology to describe an otherwise difficult relationship between our health and our food. For example, in a mere 4 paragraphs, she is able to debunk the myth of "good and bad" cholesterol and define the role cholesterol "actually" plays in our bodies... all in a manner that is completely understandable. She continues the debunking adventure by thoroughly explaining why low protein / high carbohydrate diets can't maintain optimum health and how they can actually lead to numerous problems when used over long periods of time.The book is short enough to read in one night, but packed with enough information that you'll want to read it again and again. I highly recommend Going Back to the Basics of Human Health by Mary Frost.

What a Great Book

Mary Frost goes into soil depletion, pestiside and fungiside contamination and toxicity, pasturization, processed foods, fatty acids, vitamins, the FDA, and the importance of whole food supplements. Her book has an edge to it, but is well deserved and well needed. I agree with her that the public needs to wake up and smell the MTBE in our coffee. Good for her. I love this book and will recommend it to all of the people in my life, patients and students alike.Well Written with Intelligence and Compassion5 Stars All the Way!

If You Find Truth Hard to Come By

As a practicing chiropractor and nutritionist for 20 years, I commonly find the majority of people confused about nutriton and diet. In an age where media and news provides false information, that's not surprising.People are walking time bombs! The majority of the public has no idea of what nutrition really should be, nor do they have any control over their eating habits.With the incidence of obesity and diabetes soaring in our population, I predict that in less than five years, we'll have one of the sickest populations, if not the sickest, on this planet.Mary Frost unravels the untruths, the half-truths and the hidden politics behind our sick society and arms you with facts that will change your thinking on what you put into your mouth.If you'd like a real basic book on nutrition that's easy to read and has TRUTHFUL information, this is it. Now in it's fifth printing, it's a book that you can't afford to miss.Get it today so that you don't become a statistic!
