Most Interesting Books of 2006
The Hundred-Year Lie
How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health
by Randall Fitzgerald
Published by Dutton
Fitzgerald fearlessly challenges our poisonous penchant for ingesting processed foods, polluted waters, and modern medications. His passages about the synthetic chemicals in our blood is frightening; and he uses data from respected sources to argue that government regulations are not protecting our health. The book concludes with a plan for healthy living that spins around avoiding the bad stuff, eating natural foods, and using ancient remedies. The book's companion website, with additional resources, can be found at www.hundredyearlie.com.
