Nutrition, Health, Myths and All That. Frank Tennant

Аннотация:

This book is the result of many years wading through myths about health and identifying the link between nutrition and health. Some of these myths have been diversions created by &#39;science&#39;. Hypocrates, know as the father of modern medicine, said &#39;Let food be thy medicine&#39;. One of the first things he asked a patient was what they had been eating. How many medical practitioners ask that these days?<br><br>It&#39;s the source of our food that is important. The book provides historical evidence to support this and points out that organic is not necessarily nutritionally more dense. <br><br>The book points out how some science, faulty for whatever reason, has led us astray.<br><br>The World Health Organisation (WHO) has not been able to find a single disease that is not linked to nutrition. However, the author points out two other factors that come a close equal second.
