Have Americans been conned by the health-food industry into taking
vitamins they don't need? Two distinguished physicians say yes!
Drs. Stephen Barrett and Victor Herbert present a detailed and
comprehensive picture of the multibillion-dollar health-food
industry, which, they charge, has amassed its huge fortunes mostly
by preying on the fears of uninformed consumers. Based on twenty
years of research, The Vitamin Pushers addresses every aspect of
this lucrative business and exposes its widespread misinformation
campaign. The authors reveal how many health-food companies make
false claims about products or services, promote unscientific
nutrition practices through the media, show little or no regard for
the rules of scientific testing and evidence, and often skirt the
law in their schemes for making quick profits while eluding
government watchdog agencies. Drs. Barrett and Herbert counter the
phony assertions of health-food hucksters with reliable,
scientifically based nutrition information, and they suggest how
the consumer can avoid "getting quacked". They also include five
useful appendices on balancing your diet, evaluating claims made
for more than sixty supplements and food products, and much more.
The Vitamin Pushers is a much-needed expose of a nationwide scam,
which will definitely save you money and might even save your life.
