Though food is supposed to be one of life's simple pleasures, few
things cause more angst and confusion. Every day we are bombarded with
come-ons for the latest diet, promises for "clinically proven" miracle
ingredients, and warnings about contaminants in our favorite foods. It's
enough to give anybody indigestion.
Packed with useful-and
surprising-information, "Coffee Is Good for You" cuts through the
clutter to reveal what's believable and what's not in a fun and easily
digestible way.
You'll find out:
Locally grown produce isn't
necessarily more healthful than fruits and vegetables from across the
globe. Alcohol does cause breast cancer. You don't need eight glasses of
water a day for good health. Milk isn't necessary for strong bones.
Oatmeal really can lower cholesterol. Sea salt isn't more healthful than
regular salt. Low-fat cookies may be worse for you than high-fat cheese. -- Publisher Marketing
