Chapter Excerpts

It was only about ten years ago that the Surgeon General declared that 68% of all disease is caused by diet.
That would make a poor diet the number one cause of ill health in the United States, not the omission of prescription drugs.
A poor diet is defined as a lack of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids.

As there was more money to be made from pharmaceutical development, the campaign to produce cholesterol-lowering drugs kicked into high gear, despite the lack of evidence showing that lowering cholesterol reduced the risk of death from heart disease.
