Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And 8 More Myths about the Food We Eat

Dr. Christopher Labos

Summary

In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
		
		Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
		Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
		Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
		Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
		Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
		Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
		Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don’t need to worry about cholesterol?
		Should I be taking vitamin D?

ABOUT THIS BOOK
In this audiobook Esther Ouwehand sets out the root causes of the corona pandemic and provides solutions for preventing the rise of new pandemic threats. A highly topical debut work from the successful leader of the Dutch Party for the Animals.

75% of all new infectious diseases currently threatening humanity come from the animal kingdom. This is caused by intensive factory farming and the global animal trade. The Netherlands is leading in this regard and is therefore a breeding ground for zoonotic diseases, but for years, traditional political parties have failed to take action. Esther Ouwehand explains how we can use political courage to prevent new pandemic threats from arising in the future worldwide. And with that also effectively fight the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Systems Thinking For Social...

David Peter Stroh

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation. 
 How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results. 
 Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert. 
 Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts to end homelessness, improve public health, strengthen education, design a system for early childhood development, protect child welfare, develop rural economies, facilitate the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into society, resolve identity-based conflicts, and more.  
 The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.
