In 2004 I ran across a web page talking about how bad hydrogenated fat was. I noticed that all the store bought pre-packed food I ate had this in it. I had never heard about this before. I thought that if this stuff was that bad that the government would ban it and the medical profession would be condemning it. Months later on the radio I heard about a book called Detoxify or Die. This book also spelt out the dangers of hydrogenated fat. After reading this book I became determined to know more. Since then I have read a lot of books, articles and information from the web. I have totally changed the way I eat and look at food. This was a real paradigm shift experience. Click here for some of the changes I have made and some comments.
Below is a listing of some of the information I have read:
I highly recommend getting either "Reversing Heart Disease" or "Reversing Diabetes" by Julian Whitaker, M. D. These books are well written and explain what causes these conditions, the conventional medicine approaches and alternative ways to win the war on these conditions. The first part of the books cover the condition and the last part goes into great detail on diet (what to eat and what not to eat) and exercise. Another very good book by Dr. Whitaker is "Dr. Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing".
I also recommend reading the book "SuperFoods Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life" by Steven Pratt M.D. and Kathy Mathews. A good book to learn about the healthiest foods and nutrition. The book has food recipes, brands and web sites, supporting references and a subject index. Also the web site Worlds Healthiest Foods (link below) has a lot of excellent information.
