Building Bone Vitality: A Revolutionary Diet Plan to Prevent Bone Loss and Reverse Osteoporosis–Without Dairy Foods, Calcium, Estrogen, or Drugs

Product Description

Calcium pills don’t work. Dairy products don’t strengthen bones. Drugs may be dangerous.

For years, doctors have been telling us to drink milk, eat dairy products, and take calcium pills to improve our bone vitality. The problem is, they’re wrong. This groundbreaking guide uses the latest clinical studies and the most upto- date medical information to help you strengthen your bones, reduce the risk of fractures, and prevent osteoporosis. You’ll learn why there’s no proof of calcium’s effectiveness, despite what doctors say, and why a low-acid diet is the only effective way to prevent bone loss.

“This clear, convincing explanation of osteoporosis will change the way the world thinks about bone health. Lanou and Castleman prove beyond doubt that milk and dairy are the problem, not the solution.”
-Rory Freedman, coauthor of #1 New York Times best seller Skinny Bitch

“The authors have tackled an almost intractable myth: that calcium is the one and only key to bone vitality. It isn’t. Everyone who cares about preventing osteoporosis should read this book.”
— Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study

Product Description
Did you know that choosing one fast-food milk shake over another can save you 2,000 calories? That’s right. The difference is an entire day’s worth of calories. Make a swap like that once a week and you’ll save nearly 30 pounds in one year. And that’s just the beginning.

Eat This Not That! The Best (& Worst!) Foods in America! is the culmination of years of dedicated food-industry coverage. It’s also the most comprehensive list of the country’s most dangerous food items – the burgers, salads, pizzas, and beers that can single handedly sabotage an otherwise healthy diet. Do you know which popular restaurant is selling a cocktail with nearly 900 calories? How about the cafe that sells a doughnut with more sugar than two candy bars? Read this book and you’ll discover the food industry’s biggest secrets, and you’ll never approach a restaurant menu the same way again.

Within the pages of this book you’ll find chapters dedicated to America’s best and worst breakfasts, burgers, pizzas, and supermarket foods, as well as best and worst foods for fighting sickness, battling high blood pressure and cholesterol, and keeping blood sugar in check. But as with the other installments of Eat This, Not That!, you’ll also find a cache of life-changing guides, helping you to:

  • Understand the additives in the foods you eat. (Just what is MSG, and how dangerous is it, really?)
  • Identify the “healthy” foods that are secretly packing your body with excess calories, fat, sugar, and sodium (At one restaurant, you’re better off eating the ribs than the turkey burger!)
  • Navigate the mall’s food court. (Save 55 grams of fat by eating an Auntie Anne’s pretzel!)
  • Score big in the drive-thru (Cut a thousand calories from your Hardee’s Thickburger!)
