Should be a 5 page booklet, not a $20 book. What a ripoff!
Although it has some great information, it is only about 5 pages. Most of the book it hype and sales propaganda, and although I often agreed with the point the author was trying to make, the logic and examples were often poor or more commonly based on old research studies that were proven to be faulty. Examples are beta-carotene increases lung cancer or Vitamin E is bad for you. The beta-carotene study used synthetic and it was only a study of lung cancer patients that were still smoking! The studies that say that Vitamin E is bad also use synthetic Vitamin E, which displaces the natural Vitamin E in the body, or studies that use way too low of a dosage of the real Vitamin E to do any good. Making a good argument then trying to back it up with faulty information calls into question the validity of the information and your believability and credibility. Not worth $20.
