"Only once in a great while does a book come along that really does
the job in addressing a major medical issue. When this happens, all
can be joyful... Readers will find ALL their favorite dietary
puzzlements dealt with... With consummate scholarship, clarity and
brevity, Truswell sifts out the chaff and identifies the critical
questions, the responsible investigators, and the key studies." So
says Emeritus Professor Henry Blackburn from the University of
Minnesota in the foreword to this remarkable concise book on the
history of research on diet and heart disease. This was a theme of
scientific, medical and public interest in the 20th Century, a
century marked by the rise and fall of coronary heart disease as
the major cause of death in the first world, followed by the rise
of this cause of death in the developing world. There is obviously
much to learn, and this book is an excellent starting point,
tracing dietary factors and their role in heart disease one by one:
fats, sugar, salt, alcohol, coffee, trans-fats, etc. Without an
understanding of the role of diet and the changes that have been
seen in the North American and NW European diet, the story of the
decline in the heart disease death rate may have been very
different.
