Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile
Jeff Woodman's excellent diction and gee-whiz tone are a good vehicle for this potentially life-saving material. He makes the often complicated material understandable without sounding condescending. The lesson itself from the tireless Dr. Perricone shows how diet and nutritional supplements can reduce the cellular aging process that causes sagging skin, clogged arteries, stiff joints, cancer, poor emotional functioning, and many neurological impairments. The key is preventing wild swings in blood sugar that cause inflammation and overstimulate hunger. As Perricone promotes natural and organic foods and warns against toxins, narrator Woodman moderates the tone of certainty enough to preserve the author's credibility. Printable recipes, menus, exercises, and other information are included. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

My bible5
Full of good info to live by. The straight facts, clearly delivered. A must for anyone who plans to age gracefully.

Several significant inaccuracies scientifically2
I am a physician who has spent years studying anti-oxidants and supplements, and once upon a time, I believed much like Dr. Perricone. Alas, I found out the truth. There are no magic bullets, there are no magic supplements combinations that will keep you healthy. As Dr. Fuhrman states in his book, you cannot buy good health by buying pills, you have to earn it by eating a nutritionally dense, excellent diet all the time. As he points out, there are literally Tens of Thousands of nutrients in good vegetables, fruits, legumes (beans), seeds, nuts and berries. If you wanted to get all the good supplements that are known of today, you'd have to try to swallow a pill that would weigh about 3 pounds ! ! And, then you still would not be getting all the thousands of other nutrients that haven't even been discovered yet !! For your health and life's sake, don't waste your money on this man's supplements, read Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live, and his new book coming out in April, 2008 entitled Eat For Health. I am not Dr. Fuhrman, nor do I get anything out of promoting his book, other than the satisfaction of knowing I may be prolonging some of your lives, if you listen to me, and then to what he demonstrates are the true facts in his books. One of the other reviewers pointed out that Dr. Perricone doesn't seem to back up what he says with references to his sources. You will not find this to be a fault with Dr. Fuhrman's research. His book Eat To Live, has MORE than 1,000 scientific references in the back of the book, which are footnoted to specific statements in each chapter. I personally was skeptical of several things he said, and in fact, went out to find the original research in several cases where I most doubted what he said. I found that in every case, his research backed up what he said, and in one case, his summary of the evidence was more accurate than the researcher's own abstract of the research. I know of no one else who is so sincere in trying to find out accurate scientific information about diet, nutrition and health, and convey this to his patients. BTW, he's a Family Practice doctor who's Board Certified, and he treats whole people, not just their faces or their skin! Since my wife and I went on his diet we have never been sick (about 5 yrs now), and we both have much more energy. Back to Dr. P: he inaccurately tells people to use olive oil - which is unhealthy for you, even though it is less unhealthy than other oils. Also, research shows the reason the Mediterranean diet is healthy for you, is because of all the vegetables, and lettuce eaten, NOT because of the olive oil. He also promotes other findings as true that are not. To get your head on straight on the evidence, please read Dr. Fuhrman's books.
