Eat Right-Electrolyte: A Nutritional Guide to Minerals in Our Daily Diet Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are the primary electrolytes that regulate and preserve the health of body systems. Since those electrolytes come from our food as nutrient minerals, diet is the key mediator of electrolyte balance for the body.
In this important, well-researched book, W. Rex Hawkins, M.D., presents persuasive evidence that the standard American diet does not provide an appropriate balance of electrolytes. The consequence is serious health problems such as hypertension, heart disease, osteoporosis, kidney stones, Crohn's disease, and more. With a clear, straightforward style Dr. Hawkins reviews the nutritional research that documents the harmful effects of excessive sodium usage and of potassium, magnesium, and calcium neglect. He castigates our two-trillion-dollar food industry for the deliberate and well-camouflaged addition of sodium to foods and for their neglect of low-sodium alternatives. Writing from the perspective of chemical engineer and vitreal-retinal ophthalmic specialist, Dr. Hawkins helps the reader sort out the conflicting claims of fad diets such as that of Atkins and Suzanne Somers vs. traditional food-pyramid recommendations. Full of essential information not readily available elsewhere, Eat Right—Electrolyte gives the consumer the knowledge to choose foods wisely and obtain optimal health by focusing on electrolyte content.

Vitamania: Vitamins in American Culture (Health and Medicine in American Society) "Vital reading for anyone who wants to understand the public's decades-long love affair with vitamin supplements. Rima Apple deftly explores the science, politics, history, marketing, and mystique that have kept vitamins a hot-button issue for the American public."--Bonnie Liebman, Director of Nutrition, Center for Science in the Public Interest "Have you taken your vitamins today?" That question echoes daily through American households. Thanks to intensive research in nutrition and medicine, the importance of vitamins to health is undisputed. But millions of Americans believe that the vitamins they get in their food are not enough. Vitamin supplements have become a multibillion-dollar industry. At the same time, many scientists, consumer advocacy groups, and the federal Food and Drug Administration doubt that most people need to take vitamin pills. Vitamania tells how and why vitamins have become so important to so many Americans. Rima Apple examines the claims and counterclaims of scientists, manufacturers, retailers, politicians, and consumers from the discovery of vitamins in the early twentieth century to the present. She reveals the complicated interests--scientific, professional, financial--that have propelled the vitamin industry and its would-be regulators. From early advertisements linking motherhood and vitamin D, to Linus Pauling's claims for vitamin C, to recent congressional debates about restricting vitamin products, Apple's insightful history shows the ambivalence of Americans toward the authority of science. She also documents how consumers have insisted on their right to make their own decisions about their health and their vitamins. Vitamania makes fascinating reading for anyone who takes--or refuses to take--vitamins. It will be of special interest to students, scholars, and professionals in public health, the biomedical sciences, history of medicine and science, twentieth-century history, nutrition, marketing, and consumer studies. Rima D. Apple teaches at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where she holds a joint appointment in the Department of Consumer Science and the Women's Studies Program. She is the author of Mothers and Medicine: A Social History of Infant Feeding, 1890-1950 and editor of Women, Health, and Medicine in America: A Historical Handbook.
Whole Food Nutrition, the Missing Link in Vitamin Therapy: The Difference Between Nutrients Within Foods Vs Isolated Vitamins & How They Affect Your Health Dr. Vic Shayne's book is a must-read for anyone who takes vitamins. "There is nothing 'natural' about a vitamin once it has been removed from its original food 'complex.'" Whole food supplements contain vitamins, but vitamins NEVER contain the myriad ingredients found in natural, whole foods. People seeking natural healthcare demand to know the truth.

Anti-Fat Nutrients: Safe and Effective Strategies for Increasing Metabolism, Controlling Appetite, and Losing Fat in 15 Days A successful diet does much more than simply take off unwanted pounds-it helps you feel good and look good. And it is permanent. This is because it includes making changes in body composition and metabolism that increase the bodyís ability to burn calories. These changes do not depend upon a large reduction in the calories consumed, but upon minor modifications in the foods eaten and upon the addition of a small number of supplements to the diet. The result is a decrease in fatty tissue and an increase in the ratio of lean muscle tissue to adipose (fat) tissue in the body. Such a change is psychologically satisfying because lean tissue not only burns calories, but also gives women their shapely figures and men their muscle tone. In any successful weight-loss program, you should be able to judge yourself by your mirror rather than by your bathroom scale!
