This book and the studies within are a hugely NEEDED wakeup call for our society. We changed our diet last year to a mostly plant based diet and I cannot even begin to tell you all the amazing benefits we've seen thus far. Additionally, my mother in law works in a hospital who has recently implemented the CHIP program, which was also founded by the author of this book. A very smart man trying his hardest to honestly change this country's horrible eating habits. This book was just one of many that contributed to our family's nutritional education. Highly recommended for anyone who puts food in their mouths, especially mothers responsible for feeding children.
