Description
Onions as a heart drug? Garlic to fight blood clots? Chili peppers to fight colds? Broccoli to prevent cancer? These are just a few of the revelations from new research about food. Health and nutrition authority Jean Carper explores these findings about food, possibly the most important in decades. Few people realize that common foods - their everyday diets - contain many of the same properties as laboratory produced pharmaceutical drugs, that our natural and extensive "food pharmacy" possesses the power to combat illness and prolong life. Once considered folklore, the discoveries being pioneered by today's leading scientists and physicians are creating an advanced understanding of diet's impact on disease, proving that food is our largest, most complex pharmacy.
