Dr. Mollen's Anti-aging Diet - Hardcover

Diets high in fat, salt, and sugar have all been implicated in the development of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity. Americans also eat too much protein, says Mollen, physician and founder of the Southwest Health Institute. His anti-aging regimen emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes with small amounts of animal and vegetable protein coupled with moderate exercise and a positive mental outlook. His book includes references to the scientific nutrition literature, shopping tips, recipes, sample menus, and case studies of patients who changed their lives when they changed their eating habits. Mollen's program is basically sound, although he does subscribe to the "free radical" theory of aging espoused in Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw's notorious Life Extension: Adding Years to Your Life & Life to Your Years; A Practical Scientific Approach ( LJ 6/15/82). The National Enquirer has first serial rights, so this will probably be requested frequently.
