Nutricide: The Rise and Fall of Saturated Fat in the Affairs of Man

IMAGINE the impact of a new "drug" which annually contributes to a million deaths, disables tens of millions, & leaves hundreds of millions lethargic & incapable of reaching their physical & intellectual potential. IMAGINE that this "drug" is all around us: on our streets, in our schools, in our homes, & in our supermarkets. IMAGINE that the "drug" distributors know of the danger but conspire to conceal it, that our government shows no interest in regulating this menace, & that our medical scholars fail to encourage complete abstinence. Impossible? Absurd? Could such a thing ever happen? Dr. Michael Wagoner, a faculty member of the Harvard Medical School, presents shocking evidence that it already has. NUTRICIDE depicts the tremendous physical & mental suffering inflicted by our greatest menace: SATURATED FAT. The historical, social, & cultural factors which have contributed to the unfortunate RISE OF SATURATED FAT are examined in detail. A rational plan is presented for individual & government actions needed to insure the FALL OF SATURATED FAT. Opening with his own personal struggle with saturated fat addiction, the author spins a grim & satirical nutritional tale, but paints optimistic predictions of the future. After reading NUTRICIDE, mealtime will never be the same again.Wagoner, Michael D. is the author of 'Nutricide: The Rise and Fall of Saturated Fat in the Affairs of Man', published 1991 under ISBN 9780962967504 and ISBN 0962967505.
