Abstract
About the Book
This intriguing treatise on nutrition goes back to the fundamentals. Instead of promoting a specific fad diet or "missing nutrient," it argues for the consumption of real foods and balanced meals that are primarily plant-based. The book also sheds light on some of the misleading trends in the food industry and how micromanaging nutrition and nutrients has proved ineffective in the face of the American obesity epidemic.
