Coauthor of Lunch Buddies: Buddy Up for a Better Diet

Each of us has health concerns, although some might not be willing to admit it.

In my family, the concern is diabetes . . . it can be traced all the way back to my great, great grandfather. My grandpa, my dad, his two brothers and my sister were unlucky enough to be afflicted by this disease, a disease which frequently damages each and every one of our major organs. My grandpa often had just ice cream or pancakes for dinner, and died at only 55 of a heart attack. Perhaps a better diet could have extended his life.

Gillian McKeith has presented a comprehensive, factual, and useful manual on food, food which helps determine whether we acquire diseases and conditions such as diabetes and obesity. I am sure each and every one of you has a disease to which you may be genetically predisposed, and if you're wise you'll try to do something about it before it is too late.

You will find each of the four sections of this book to be quite helpful in your quest for prevention and cures simply through careful selection of the foods you eat. Whatever your concern, from acne to Alzheimer's, or breast cancer to bronchitis, you'll find tools to help. Buy this book for you and anyone you care about. Eating right is our most controllable factor to achieve good health.
