Honoring Holistic Health Habits discusses the major killer health risks in today’s society, as well as how these threats can be significantly reduced by lifestyle modification in diet and exercise. Heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s are all exacerbated by eating an unhealthy diet. Plus, these diseases have all dramatically increased over the past century as a result of dietary changes. The nature of these diseases along with the adjustments necessary to overcome them are important. Issues involve underlying energy intake and expenditure, toxicity, and the unhealthy modifications in modern diet that have brought on these health problems. Today’s diets contain unhealthy fats and toxic proteins loaded with excess carbohydrates, the latter being the major cause of weight gain and diabetes. Taken in excess, these are the major killers, which for the first time in centuries are causing a reduction in life expectancy. These conclusions come from the author’s lifelong medical practice treating these disorders. Dr. Tom Taylor believes it is vital to fight the major killers that are the biggest threats to long life, and to understand the ways in which these can be reduced or deferred, thereby improving our lifestyle.

More than 40 years before Gary Taubes published The Case Against Sugar, John Yudkin published his now-classic exposé on the dangers of sugar—reissued here with a new introduction by Robert H. Lustig, the bestselling author of Fat Chance. Scientist John Yudkin was the first to sound the alarm about the excess of sugar in the diet of modern Americans. His classic exposé, Pure, White, and Deadly, clearly and engagingly describes how sugar is damaging our bodies, why we eat so much of it, and what we can do to stop. He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different types—is brown sugar really better than white?—to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is harming our health. In 1972, Yudkin was mostly ignored by the health industry and media, but the events of the last forty years have proven him spectacularly right. Yudkin’s insights are even more important and relevant now, with today’s record levels of obesity, than when they were first published. Brought up-to-date by childhood obesity expert Dr. Robert H. Lustig, this emphatic treatise on the hidden dangers of sugar is essential reading for anyone concerned about their health, the health of their children, and the wellbeing of modern society.

With an increasing number of people suffering from obesity, heart disease, and other diet-related disorders, many of us turn to fad diets in an effort to drop excess pounds or recover our health. But what if our foods were doing more harm than good, and fad diets made matters worse? Deadly Harvest examines how the foods we eat today have little in common with those of our ancestors, and why this fact is important to our health. It also offers a proven program to enhance health and improve longevity. Using the latest scientific research and studies of primitive lifestyles, the author first explains the diet that our ancestors followed--one in harmony with the human species. He then describes how our present diets affect our health, leading to disorders such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more. Most important, he details measures we can take to improve our diet, our health, and our quality of life.

From the crusader credited with popularizing the phrase "junk food," Salt Wars uncovers the group of scientists who worked with food industry lobbyists and fought all efforts to reduce the dangerous levels of sodium in our food. A high-sodium diet is deadly; studies have linked it to high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attacks. It's been estimated that excess sodium in the American diet causes as many as 100,000 deaths per year. And yet salt is everywhere in our diets--in packaged food, fast food, and restaurant meals. Why hasn't salt received the sort of attention and regulatory action that sugar and fat have? In Salt Wars, Michael Jacobson explains how the American food industry have fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food.
