Back in 1965, a very good year by the way, Ralph Nadar published his book, Unsafe At Any Speed. Nadar was attempting to warn the American public about the dangers of the automobile and particularly the Chevrolet Corvair.In the book Unsafe at Any Meal: What the FDA Does Not Want You to Know About the Foods You Eat by Dr. Renee Joy Dufault, the author is seeking to inform her readers about the dangers lurking in our food.
The author makes a very compelling case regarding the Standard American Diet (SAD) and how it can lead to autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), and Alzheimer's disease. It even appears that it may be possible to reverse some of the effects of those conditions by changing our diet.
One would think that a book like this would be a very dry read, but it isn’t. This book is well-written and not too academic for most readers. When she does speak in scientific terms, she explains those terms in a simple form that even a redneck could understand and get the point.
Dr. Dufault tells her readers what they can do to live a healthier life. She explains how even a person on a very limited budget may be able to eat healthier. Wouldn’t it be great if she and her associates were to write a cookbook that provides healthy recipes on an extremely low budget?
We give Unsafe at Any Meal all five stars on our scale of zero to five stars. We think it is an important book. This book is well-written and easy to understand, even though it does take on a fairly complex subject.
This book should be made required reading for all high school students. A few hundred congressmen should also read this book.
We were sent a complimentary copy of this book. We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

That sounds good, but I am sure there are things I don't want to know. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen. There's nothing really shocking in this book. David says there nothing that would cause you to not want things you already enjoy. It's more about health implications of things versus gross things.

When talking Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults, it is important not to forget that symptoms manifest themselves differently in kids and grownups. The disease normally manifests it self more subtly in grown ups, making diagnosis and therapy method . One mark of ADHD symptoms in older people, however, could be the widely accepted understanding it cannot grow in older people.
