This book presents research findings about 50 foods that are
commonly touted as healthy and educates readers about the medical
problems they purportedly alleviate or help prevent. It is always
in the best interest of those who market foods to make grandiose
claims regarding their nutritional value, regardless of whether
actual scientific proof exists to support such a claim. Even
diligent and educated consumers often have difficulty discerning
facts from mere theory or pure marketing hype. As the incidence of
childhood obesity in the United States continues to increase at an
alarming rate and food costs skyrocket, this book arrives at a
perfect time for health-conscious consumers, providing an
authoritative reference for anyone looking to make wise eating
decisions at home, work, school, or in restaurants. Healthy Foods:
Fact versus Fiction is the result of a collaborative effort between
a medical doctor and an award-winning journalist and author on
nutrition. This book provides actual research findings to shed
light on the true benefits of the most popular health foods-and in
some cases, debunk misconceptions surrounding certain foods.
Includes 50 topics covering the most popular health foods, such as
blueberries, buckwheat, and capers Comprises the exhaustive
research of a physician and an acclaimed independent scholar and
writer 50 photographs are provided to illustrate each type of food
A glossary containing hundreds of entries explains common terms
such as "protein" and "antioxidant" as well as medical terminology
like "gastric dysrhythmia"
