mericans' greatest nutritional need sometimes seems to A be for accurate information. If we believe all I the food "facts" circulating in our culture, nothing we eat is good for us it's either fattening, high in cholesterol, cancer-causing, energy-depleting, or a straight road to high blood pressure. And we're surrounded by "experts" profitably flooding the market with high-priced nutritional supplements, megavitamins, and fad diets. Enough already!

In Fad-Free Nutrition, respected authors Fredrick Stare, M.D., and Elizabeth Whelan, Sc.D., of the American Council on Science and Health, explain why you should be wary of the hype and "myth-information" surrounding nutrition. Using sound dietary principles and scientific evidence, they steer you clear of quackery and guide you toward the basics of healthy eating and sound nutrition.
