What BS we've been fed the past several decades

Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Paperback)

There is a ton of information in this book about remedies for various ailments, which is why I was tempted to keep it. however, every time I turned a page, I stumbled on more outdated, cringe-inducing, food-pyramid-era misinformation, such as, saturated fats like coconut oil increase your risk of heart attack, and you should have corn oil or canola oil instead. (seriously?!) it doesn't recommend sucralose (splenda), but says it's "metabolically inert" and would work well for diabetics. no mention of the fact that this stuff was originally meant to be a pesticide. oh, and go ahead and eat that plastic "food" -- margarine in a tub -- because we wouldn't want to get fat on butter...and while you're at it, stock up on low-fat dairy products (made by those nice food manufacturers), which have had all the nutrients sucked out of them. if the author had taken the time to look into the latest nutritional research, she would realize all of this "common knowledge" was basically propaganda that is now being debunked.

 Coconut oil, for example, is one of the best foods you can give your body, but the corn oil industry was responsible for vilifying it to beef up their own profits. all the research is out there, but despite the fact that this is the "updated" 2010 edition, you're not going to get anything cutting-edge here. expect more of the same old regurgitated B.S.

 we've been fed for the past several decades, information that has served to make us a nation of fat, sick, misinformed people. Stacker 2 Fat Burner Capsules, Ephedra Free, 100-Count Bottlea book that presents itself as the gold standard of nutritional healing can't get up to speed with information I can find in a simple google search? that's either laziness, or more propaganda. either way, I rate that a fail.
