The Modern Nutritional Diseases: And How to Prevent Them : Heart Disease, Stroke, Type-2 Diabetes, Obesity, Cancer

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13974 ratings)

Description:For more than a decade, millions of Americans have been using the low-fat, high-carbohydrate heart-healthy diet that was designed by nutritional scientists to prevent or cure cardiovascular diseases. During this same period, the attack rates of heart disease and stroke have not decreased, as promised, but instead increased dramatically. Further, obesity and type-2 diabetes, conditions uncommon 50 years ago, have become major epidemics. The Modern Nutritional Diseases and How to Prevent Them explores this paradox by briefly reviewing the changes in the human diet that have occurred throughout the ages, from Paleolithic times to the present. Evidence is presented to show how these dietary changes have been implicated in nutritional diseases, both classic and modern.The book devotes a chapter each to an explanation of how much carbohydrate, protein, fat, and minor nutrients the body requires and how the body uses them. The tremendous importance of the essential fatty acids, precursors of eicosanoids, and the adverse effects of their imbalance in the low-fat diets is described. The biochemistry of why it is sugar and starch - not dietary fats - that are responsible for high blood cholesterol, obesity, and type-2 diabetes is outlined. The book also presents evidence that Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, and depression should also be considered as modern nutritional diseases.Finally, the book devotes a chapter to faulty science and shows the reader how to sort truth from fiction. The last chapter outlines simple dietary and lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce the risk of the modern nutritional diseases and improve one's health and sense of well-being.face=Arial size=2> About the Authors: Alice and Fred Ottoboni are public health scientists who, prior to retirement in the late 1980's, worked for many years investigating and preventing diseases in populations. During that time, they learned that every disease has a cause and, once the cause is known, prevention is often a reasonable and proper next step.Alice Ottoboni earned a B.A. in Chemistry from the University of Texas, Austin, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis. Her professional career focused on nutritional biochemistry and toxicity of food contaminants and additives. She is the author of The Dose Makes the Poison: A Plain Language Guide to Toxicology, first published in 1984. The second edition is published by John Wiley & Sons.Fred Ottoboni earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University and an M.P.H and Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. His primary professional interest was identification, evaluation, and control of diseases caused by toxic materials and harmful physical agents in the workplace. He is the author of Korea Between the Wars: A Soldier's Story, which describes his experiences as a soldier during the American occupation of South Korea immediately after the end of World War II.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
