Fitness and Nutritional Consultant Dr. Candace Corson and her son Tom have written a helpful little book that if taken seriously will enhance your health and help you avoid cancer, heart disease and diabetes. They talk about how many diseases start with inflammation and also discuss the link between being overweight and having problems with inflammation.This book sounds the alarm that we are not eating well enough and explains what to do about it. The authors present a few ideas I'd never thought of before. I also didn't know that an apple has over 10,000 phytonutrients. No wonders I feel compelled to eat an apple almost daily.The authors argue for "whole food nutrition." You may think differently about supplements after you read this book.What you should know is that Dr. Candace Corson is a vegetarian so she recommends you not eat any dairy, meat, fish or eggs. I think this is unrealistic for most people. She also doesn't discuss the problem of vegetarians being deficient in B12. This is a very serious problem and if you are thinking of becoming a vegetarian you should know your risks.Other than that this book was a helpful reminder to eat more fruits and vegetables.~The Rebecca Review
