I read the reviews and many of them praised the "science" and "research" that went intoPeak Erectile Strength Diet, but after reading this short, interesting tract I can find neither science nor research on these pages.  There is nothing here but bold, unfounded assertions based on the typical social justice meme that seeks to perpetuate the lifestyle of subsistence farming peasantry at the cost of everything modern and everything truly scientific.The recommendations that so many people praised with such blissful closed-minded endorsement are pretty simple:1. Exercise more2. Eat organic foods3. Become a vegan or as close to it as you can tolerateWhile these suggestions are indeed fitting and appropriate for the descendants of French, Indian, Chinese, and Spanish peasants, the rest of us cannot survive on such meager fare.  If these ideas were so very helpful to the peasants, then why did they work so hard to abandon their ancient "healthy" lifestyles in favor of rebellion, destruction of the aristocracy, and modern living?  A vegan diet leaves a person physically weakened, emotionally impaired, and dependent on someone else for daily guidance.  In short, it creates peasants and there is a profound move through the modern world to convince you and I and everyone they can reach that we need to become peasants who do nothing but slave away in the factories and commercial farms established by the modern elitists for the benefit of the elitists.Early onset erectile dysfunction is founded in genetics. It is the result of countless generations of humanity that did not live beyond thirty years of age because their world was violent and their climate harsh.  While diet may, in some cases, have a minor impact on erectile function, it will never have the huge impact books like this one are claiming it will have.  The reason a starvation diet and hard exercise can, in some cases, bring minor improvement to reproductive function is because it stresses the physical animal beyond enduring and forces the genes to seek to reproduce in a younger, stronger specimen.The suggestions in this book will be helpful, but they will not transform an impotent or semi-impotent fifty or sixty year old into a breeding stud capable of marathon sex sessions.  Such claims are hyperbolic at best and downright deceptive at worst.  It is a pleasant lie designed to convince men to abandon their core strengths and become mild-mannered urban dwellers who won't argue with police and will consistently vote for bigger government and more government intervention into their daily life.If you truly want to know why your body is failing at forty, then you need to be readingThe Selfish Gene,Principles of Paleontology, andHard Evidence: Case Studies in Forensic Anthropology.The one thing the writer does get right is that replacing the candy bars and ice cream in your diet with dried fruit and dry roasted nuts will do wonders for your emotional life, your physical life, and your sex life.  But that's a far cry from abandoning your morning bacon and eggs in favor of powdered maca root/cocoa smoothies with a side of green tea.
