Attended Carthage College and earned a degree in education from the University of Wisconsin. Worked as a commercial artist in California and school teacher in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I bought and read this book about 30 years ago. At the time when the only sources of information and knowledge were books and studies, I considered this text an oasis in the desert. Even so, I was wary of the theories propounded in the book.
I have again read it. I am not very impressed again. There are a lot of anecdotes. They may be honest but I was expecting something more substantial in terms of cogent evidence. There are certain dietary recommendations that I tend to disagree with --- mainly because they have no objective basis for trusting them.
