by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Nutrition experts Alica and Fred Ottoboni offer a step-by-step process that will allow you to become widely knowledgeable of modern nutritional diseases.
The United States is experiencing an epidemic of diseases related to poor nutrition.
Rates of heart disease, stroke, type-2 diabetes, and obesity are all rising rapidly.
In this column, public health scientists Alice and Fred Ottoboni describe simple dietary and lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce the risk of modern nutritional diseases and, at the same time, improve one's health and sense of well-being.
1. Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, by Robert C. Atkins, contains a wealth of information, all thoroughly referenced to the scientific literature, on the causes and dangers of obesity.
It describes a dietary program for timely and safely returning to normal weight and health.
The book contains many graphs and tables that provide practical information for self-evaluation of weight status and menus and recipes for diet planning.
Protein Power, like Barry Sears' Enter the Zone, has been described erroneously by the nutrition community as advocating a high-protein diet, implying that a high-protein diet is dangerous.
In actual fact, both Enter the Zone and Protein Power recommend a 40:30:30 diet, which is, at most, only a moderate protein diet.
It presents detailed information on the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and hormones in the treatment of many chronic illnesses.
Dr. Jacobs' discovery of the topical medication dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) led to his finding that an active principal in DMSO was MSM, a metabolite of DMSO.
7. The Heart Revolution, by Kilmer McCully and Martha McCully, describes the role of homocysteine in cardiovascular disease and how vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid work to prevent its damaging effects.
8. The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease, by Uffe Ravnskov, explains, in very easy-to-understand language, the scientific facts concerning the true relationship between cholesterol and heart disease.
