The Culprit and the Cure
Why lifestyle is the culprit behind America's poor health

by Steven G. Aldana, PhD



      The first time I was called fat I was 14. Thirty years later I have invested a lot of effort into trying to decide whether the next popular diet is balanced and nutritious, wondering what the negative effects are, and I'm always on the lookout for another good vegetarian bean and rice recipe.

At first I was really disappointed in The Culprit and the Cure. There is nothing new in it. We eat poorly, we don't exercise, we are unhealthy; eat better, get moving and we will feel better. I finally figured out that this is the whole point; The Culprit and the Cure is not meant to bring forth a great new theory or diet miracle. It is a consolidation and summary of research that has been performed in a quest to improve your health and your life.

The language is simple and direct: "Dairy products that are low in fat should be favored over those that are high in fat." If you want to know why in greater, scientific depth you can visit the Journal of American Diet Associates, Feb 2004 (Reference 27 of chapter 8).

This book is a perfect resource for the fad dieter who hasn't spent a lot of time learning about what is healthy and who wants to educate themselves in how to break the cycle of yo-yo dieting, or somebody who just wants to feel better and improve their lifestyle.
