Publisher Description
Though food is supposed to be one of life's simple pleasures, few things cause more angst and confusion. Every day we are bombarded with come-ons for the latest diet, promises for "clinically proven" miracle ingredients, and warnings about contaminants in our favorite foods. It's enough to give anybody indigestion.
Packed with useful-and surprising-information, Coffee Is Good for You cuts through the clutter to reveal what's believable and what's not in a fun and easily digestible way.
You'll find out:
Locally grown produce isn't necessarily more healthful than fruits and vegetables from across the globe Alcohol does cause breast cancer You don't need eight glasses of water a day for good health Milk isn't necessary for strong bones Oatmeal really can lower cholesterol Sea salt isn't more healthful than regular salt Low-fat cookies may be worse for you than high-fat cheese
Customer Reviews
Great, informative read!
It's so refreshing to read a well-written book that challenges our culture's food myths so effectively. We are inundated with (questionable) information about health and diet to the point of not knowing what to believe. Mr. Davis presents great arguments, backed with sound research and devoid of a personal agenda. He takes us back full-circle to what we have been hearing for a long time: Eat well. Exercise often. Practice moderation. Don't believe everything you hear. Amazing how that line of thinking turns out to be true time and again.
