Description: "Every day we are bombarded with come-ons for the latest diet, promises for "clinically proven" miracle ingredients, and warnings about contaminants in our favorite foods. Packed with useful--and surprising--information, Coffee Is Good for You cuts through the clutter to reveal what's believable and what's not in a fun and easily digestible way. You'll find out: - Locally grown produce isn't necessarily more healthful than fruits and vegetables from across the globe - Alcohol does cause breast cancer - You don't need eight glasses of water a day for good health - Milk isn't necessary for strong bones - Oatmeal really can lower cholesterol - Sea salt isn't more healthful than regular salt - Low-fat cookies may be worse for you than high-fat cheese"--
