Food Groups Can Save Your Life by
Neal Barnard
Eating Better
Citing overwhelming medical evidence previously downplayed by powerful
lobby groups, Dr. Barnard reveals why a diet based on the new four food
groups (grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits) will sharply decrease the
risk of cancer and heart disease and dramatically increase life expectancy.
He also unveils a 21-day program for a smooth transition to the new way of
eating healthfully. Line drawings.
Personal Review: Food for Life: How the New Four Food Groups
Can Save Your Life by Neal Barnard
I have purchased over a dozen copies of this book for my family and
friends, and finally browsed the reviews today and was shocked to see any
negative feedback. So for those considering the book, remember the

negative reviews were written by meat-lovers that in no way plan to give it
up.
I've read at least twenty or so nutrition books and this is my favorite of
them all. It's simple to read, easy to understand, and very complete. It
encourages a vegeterian diet for the sole purpose of having a healthy life,
rather than giving all the statisitics on animal cruelty.
It deconstructs all the myths (i.e. people need tons of protein, and
vegetarians do not get enough iron) and gives tons of yummy recipes in
addition to informing you of all the nutritional benefits of a plant-based diet.
It reinforces the fact that doctors do not fix you until you are broken. My
brother is in med school and I asked him how many nutrition classes he
was required to take..... the answer was none. Why not learn how to
prevent diseases rather than fix them afterwards? Why eat a meat-based
diet, take your cholesterol pill and destroy your liver, when you can avoid
eating cholesterol at all? Why eat excessive simple carbohydrates and
sugars and rely on an insulin shot every day?
I've bought copies for nearly every member in my family over the past
three years, but sadly they don't bother reading it until they are required to
take insulin, or they find a lump in their breast, or they find their cholesterol
is off the charts. I believe you have a duty to your loved ones to keep your
body healthy so you can be here for them as long as possible, and this
book can show you how. For more info, look into pcrm.org
Also, my sincerest thank you to Dr. Barnard for caring enough to spend
time to teach interested people the proper way to eat.
