Summary

Balanced Eating explores the science behind nourishing your body for optimal health and longevity through mindful food choices. This book emphasizes the importance of understanding macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—and micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, detailing their critical roles in energy provision, immune function, and overall well-being. Did you know that food processing techniques can significantly impact nutritional value, highlighting the benefits of whole, unprocessed foods? The book champions a holistic approach, moving beyond simple calorie counting to consider food quality and nutrient density.

 
The book guides readers through a logical progression, starting with the fundamentals of macronutrient and micronutrient function. It then examines the impact of different food processing techniques and explores various dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet. What sets this book apart is its personalized approach, emphasizing individual factors like age, activity level, and health status when making dietary choices, rather than advocating a one-size-fits-all diet.

 
Balanced Eating culminates with practical strategies for implementing balanced eating in everyday life, offering meal planning guidelines and mindful eating techniques. This approach empowers readers to create sustainable eating plans aligned with their unique needs, taking control of their health through informed food choices and proactive health management.

Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And...

Dr. Christopher Labos

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?

Sweet and Deadly - How Coca-Cola...

Murray Carpenter

If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark. 
 
 
 
Sugar-sweetened beverages are the single item in the American diet that most contributes to the epidemic of chronic disease—in particular, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and Coca-Cola is America's favorite sugar-sweetened beverage, by far. Carpenter details how the Coca-Cola corporation's sophisticated shadow network has masterfully spread disinformation for decades to hide the health risks of its product from consumers—risks disproportionately borne by Black, brown, and low-income communities. Working from a playbook of obfuscation and pseudoscience that has worked well for other harmful products, from tobacco and trans fats to opioids, Coca-Cola has managed to maintain an aura of goodness and happiness. This eye-opening book finally and fully reveals the truth behind that aura.
