My collection of Dr. Fuhrman's books.
Welcome to the first posting of the Disease Prevention book club.
The fact that people can improve their health by eating a low-fat plant-based diet is nothing new or revolutionary. You see, the evidence to prove that nutrient dense foods can have a positive impact on health has existed in the medical literature for decades. People living with chronic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or osteoporosis, can reverse their condition and live disease-free with just a little bit of effort.
The medical community today is quick to offer drugs and interventions such as bypass surgery and angioplasty and stents to fix health problems. Most health professionals have become very familiar with band-aid type solutions (drugs and interventions) that do nothing to fix what is causing the problem in the first place. In addition, they distance themselves from learning and promoting the benefits of what Dr. Fuhrman calls "nutritional excellence" to correct the offending situation.
In his dedication of 'Eat for Health,' Dr. Fuhrman states, "People need to know they have a choice. "Drugs and medical interventions are not always as necessary and as immediate as we are led to believe. It is my observation that that the truth is being withheld from the public -- from you!
On this matter, I completely agree with Dr. Fuhrman and with other health professionals. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, in his book the China Study writes,"Consumers have the ultimate choice of whether to integrate our findings into their lifestyles, but we owe it to them to give them the best information possible with which to make that decision and not decide for them. It is they who paid for this research and it is only they who have the right to decide what to do with it."
