Author Description

Nutritional Influences on Illness is a comprehensive summary of the world’s knowledge concerning the relationship between dietary and nutritional factors and illness. In eighty-seven chapters, each covering a specific disorder, it organizes and summarizes thousands of scientific studies from around the world. This book does not try to promote any particular school of thought. Both studies whose results agree, and studies whose results disagree, with numerous 'organizing statements' are presented. Instead of the author telling readers his opinion as to what the research says, he makes it easy for them to see the data for themselves and then form their own opinions. The second edition is a fully revised, greatly expanded and totally updated version of the original 1987 Keats edition.
