I happened upon this book in the bookstore (sorry Amazon!), and I read it in a few hours.In my opinion, it is a gem!Very easy reading, with goodtitles and useful charts, and enough scientific references to satisfy thoselooking for "proof."The authors maintain that many of the worstdiseases and disorders, and premature aging and death, can be linked to anoverload of sugar in our diets, which results in rising insulin levels andfat production.Carbs are the culprit, not fat!They contend that"there are serious risk factors associated with elevated insulin whichcan hasten our demise."They provide seemingly good evidence.Theway out, they claim, is through the Low Glycemic Diet, based on theglycemic index, OR the Low-Carb Anti-Aging Diet, which puts the body intoketosis.The latter is recommended for its weight loss benefits as well asthe health benefits.The authors do refer to Dr. Atkins, but they take (inmy opinion) a more healthful approach, recommending the liberal use offresh vegetables.They also maintain that the diet is effective at low ormoderate levels of ketosis.Their approach is a lifestyle approach, ratherthan a temporary diet, and their arguments are compelling. There is awebsite for updates and a free newsletter.I recommend this book highly.
