Supplement a Day Keeps the Doctors Away, A

This book contains hundreds of scientific references and loads of common sense, it will convince even the staunchest sceptic that we can longer get the nutrients we need from our food alone. On the road from the depleted and sick soils in which our foods are grown to the dinner plate, most of our food's nutrient content is lost, resulting in a global epidemic of nutritional deficiency.

Eating well and supplementing our diet with extra nutrients can prevent a great deal of the chronic illnesses so common today - from Alzheimer's to arthritis and cancer to cardiovascular disease. Despite overwhelming evidence of the benefits of nutritional supplementing, the modern medical system, which makes money from you being sick, and the media, who make money by making up stories that sell papers, make wild and ridiculous claims that supplements are dangerous. Half of the developed world takes supplements and no person has died from supplementing, while tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people die every year from pharmaceutical medication - even when taken precisely to the doctor's orders. Our modern medical system says supplements are deadly yet dish out drugs, which frequently address only the symptoms of illnesses and have serious and even lethal side effects.

The simplest, cheapest and safest means to obtaining optimum health is to eat well and supplement with nutrients. Informed supplementation
can lead to a healthier, happier life for you and your family.

"Dr. Dingle has written a brilliantly entertaining and informative book that is essential reading for anyone interested in the current understanding of nutritional principals. He also brings to light the "behind the scenes" politics and business activities that impact on the nutritional status of the average person, which some will find astonishing, frustrating and simply infuriating.
This book is a must read. I couldn't put it down."
