Clearly, this is a flawed argument. I mean, surely he realizes that we are the only animals that can harvest another animal's milk. And it's probable, even likely, that a lion who kills a lactating gazelle consumes (and enjoys) her milk as part of the meal. Lots of talking. This author loves pre-warning me of what this book entails and that I should befriend my doctor, but not really telling me any useful information. It was irritating. The title made me jump to get the book, but I am sadly disappointed. Who's to blame? Not your doctors. They are overworked with unreal expectations for practicing and staying current on studies and research while also having any sort of work/life balance.

Chapter 19 is titled "God Made the Sun and God Made You" and includes this sentence: "Any time medical science tells you to avoid nature or something natural, your BS-sensor should sound an alarm." Wow. In providing support for his claim the author repeatedly uses "whole wheat" interchangeably with "whole grains," which is confusing and somewhat conflates the argument. Wheat is just one type of grain that we consume today that has recently received a lot of attention thanks to gluten, a protein contained in wheat that some people should probably avoid. SECOND - BIGGEST RED FLAG - Dr. Berry says, and I quote “to keep the size of this book under control, I have omitted footnotes and lists of works cited….You can use Bing.com..or google.com to search any health topic” I have NEVER read a book which includes medical recommendations that did not include notations for research! That was just crazy and you can bet i followed up and did my research to verify any medical claims...

Great insight FROM a doctor on the severe flaws of the modern medical industry. The vast majority of ailments truly can be managed or cured with the right healthy diet and herbal supplements. We are way overprescribed!!! The Truth: Fiber is undigestible plant matter that passes through you unchanged. When controlled studies are done on the topics of constipation, diverticulosis, and colon cancer, adding more fiber to a diet has no effect whatsoever on the outcome of the diet. Yes, I agree there were a couple spelling or grammer errors in his book, but it does not harm the message in the least. I don't know of a single book I have read where there wasn't at least a couple errors, so for the people that gave less stars for that, I gave FULL stars for the message. I don't think a couple the the's deserved a star loss because the information in this book is very eye opening.

I work in software, and we understand that best practices are not necessarily universal, but the solution when you find an exception to a best practice is to implement the exception and add it as a valid edge case to the overall knowledge base, and if you see enough of them, to maybe re-evaluate the correctness of the best practice, but not to throw out the entire methodology of establishing best practices. This was a super one-sided presentation of the argument that made it sound like these standards are completely useless, which is ironic in a book accusing others of lying.

There's aren't good studies that show HRT is any more of a link to breast cancer and heart disease. One has to take into account sugar and cigarettes. It depends upon the type of hormones used--were they organically the same as human hormones--then they're safe, after all women had them coursing through their bodies for decades prior to menopause.a) Meat costs about 10x the cost of grains per calorie- which means that meat eating cows would be some FANCY ASS COWS. http://i.imgur.com/wV3DiTX.png In Lies My Doctor Told Me , Dr. Ken D.

About the Author I can anecdotally concur that Scarsdale, Atkins and Keto are the only diets where I can really lose weight. I'm currently on Keto and do not feel hungry, nor do I have the post lunch energy crash that used to be so familiar. It's a boring diet after awhile. I do like sugar and desserts--though I'm learning how to make Keto substitutes. Anecdotally I feel better on Keto. I don't have gut trouble. I don't have constipation and headaches. And I've curtailed the "put on 10 pounds every year" that I've been on and am now losing weight. It started as fast weight loss and is now settling in at 1-2 pounds a month. Anecdotally I have to listen to my body. I don't know if science agrees, but for me, this is a healthier diet. Author claims that milk is not good for us because we are the only animals who consume another animal's milk.
