The Big Fat Surprise - by Nina Teicholz
Why Butter, Meat & Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I used to say that if you only read one book this year -read “The Vegetarian Myth”! 

The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith.
Profound! If you don’t have time to read it all (you should though!) go directly to the third section: “Nutritional Vegetarians” – great summary of what it’s all about. How I wish everyone would read this. Had I been a vegetarian, I would have run, book in hand, to the grocery store…to the meat department.

William Davis attributes many of our ailments to wheat.

Fat and Cholesterol are Good for You
by Uffe Ravnskov. Easy to read, but still gives you the real science behind the research.Ravnskov continues in this book to debunk the myths that cholesterol and saturated fat intake cause heart disease and outlines what he considers to be the real risk factors behind heart disease. A must read for those of you who want to know the real research results from the past 30-40 years. So, you may have to read two books this year.

Used copies of his book are expensive to come by: The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy That Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease sell for around $130 on Amazon.

Uffe Ravnskov’s website http://www.ravnskov.nu

In Ravnskov’s latest book published 2010: ‘Ignore the Awkward.:How the Cholesterol Myths Are Kept Alive’ Uffe Ravnskov is explaining how researchers, paid by the pharmaceutical and food industries, have managed to ridicule critics of the prevailing cholesterol hypothesis, ignore research discrediting the hypothesis, and in the process mislead the public.
