Brazel, Susan Fyshe and Marilyn Linton
Food has always been surrounded with myths good and bad. But
of course the bad myths are what confuses us like eating too many blueberries
will make us anaemic (phony lie!). Which is healthier: beef or tuna? Margarine
or butter? The truth is, it’s not always obvious which foods are good for you
and which ones aren’t. This book debunks the myths and feeds us all the good
bits.
Foods That Harm Foods That Heal sets the record straight
with authoritative entries on foods from apples to zucchini. Learn which ones
can fight cancer, free you from pain, slow the aging process, sharpen your
mind, and help you sleep.
Find out the secret health benefits of coffee, chocolate,
nuts, and shrimp. And discover the little-known hazards of fruit juice, grilled
foods, energy bars, and fast-food salads.
Ailment entries tell which foods help – or hurt – health
conditions from allergies to diabetes to ulcers. And special features explain
everything you need to know about low-carb diets, trans fats, omega-3 fatty
acids, the glycemic index, and more.
The book is compiled from all the issues of Reader’s Digest
magazines. Many of the health tips in RD magazine are up-to-date so rest
assured this book is going to be on my shelves for a long time to come. Highly
reader-friendly and chock full of fascinating facts this book is for health
buffs and soon-to-be health mythbusters out there.
