Nice book, but caused only three stars for the Kindle version on the fact that the formatting is terrible. Many more places in words, which should lead to some very strange Zeilenumbrüche.Man think that publishers would pay more attention to that. Rating: 3 / 5

Before I rip into this book, I would say that many people would be better if we followed these rules. Many people in developed countries have terrible diets and obesity and other unhealthy as a result. There is much room for improvement, and in accordance with these rules would be much better that way, at least for most people. That said, I can do better than this book in one sentence: “Do not eat more calories than you burn each day and eat a balanced diet.” The opinion is much better than the book, but of course you knew the schon.Dieses book is simply stupid. It is full of contradictions. Maintains For example, in the first pages, the author, that everything he knows to be cooked, only seven words: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. “Only a few pages earlier, but the author did in the Inuit diet, which he said often eat the blubber and the Maasai, who survive, says the author, especially beef and milk, such as sustainable food systems. Neither the whales, or cows are plants. Then, when the author is really happening “are the plants most? I know he apply.Article 4 is” food to avoid the syrup to high fructose. “I agree. But, says the author, is that it does not matter if a product is corn syrup, dextrose or another type of sugar has as “sugar is sugar.” Now, say yes. And the author is apparently the rule “Avoid foods containing too much sugar.” I need a book to buy lernen.Was really gets me angry, however, is the anti-intellectual and anti-scientific condescending attitude of the author. The author combines intelligent comments with a bunch of complete nonsense. He told us that we should rely on conventional wisdom, which have survived after all the beautiful world for a long time. Really? From 1900, the average life expectancy was, what, 50 years like the most? Previously, he was even less. But that’s what 70 + years? And for centuries, believed that leeches a good way to your juice or such nonsense has been treated. Folk advice on health is almost always wrong. Science is often right. And even if false, it is rarely, if ever so far from the goal as Folk “wisdom.” The idea of eating what your ancestors ate a big mistake that would make the author, while recognizing the theory of evolution. We have evolved in sugar and fat such as these to us to be kept alive long enough to reproduce. Any development “concerns” is always on your genes to the next generation. Once you are of childbearing age, you do not care more or less empty weight and the development around you. Heart disease and cancer tend to kill the above 40. Thus, the plan promotes the development could lead to these diseases. Modern people are concerned, however, is on his life and healthy way past 40, and diet of the past was almost certainly not preferable because evolution is a set quite different priorities. “And back to the generation of our grandmothers ‘was over, with often more granny calories always enough in their systems to do during the day. You (such as poor today’ s have not) worry about getting fat and do not give them the luxury of turning the heat today because of the effects of long-term potential long. Until recently, we could not even Diet Coke in America South. If you were asked, they give you a funny look – who in their right mind betrays calories? But again, there was nobody, Fett.So is both culturally and evolutionary perspective look at the diets of recent years, calling the disaster because the health problems of today are new and different from the coast past an.Ich could go in this book, but I’ve raved long enough.

This book, if you can even call it a real disappointment. They are much better to read “In Defense of Food”. Rating: 1 / 5
