Terry C. Fry grew up on a farm. In 1952 he became a businessman. In 1961 he founded the Musical Heritage Society, a mail-order record club that specialized in Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and classical music. In 1970 he became a health educator active in the natural health movement. In 1976 he founded Health Sciences Institute and developed a health sciences course that was translated into several languages and adopted into the curriculum of the University of Paris. He published a magazine, “Healthful Living,” and various newsletters and books. He appeared on radio and television and lectured on health topics.
I appreciate the attempt in this book to educate the reader on nutrition, but I could not find any sources in this book to support the claims being made. I consume a whole food plant based diet, and the claim in Chapter 10: "Healthful Eating Guidlines" to avoid foods such as garlic, almost all onions and radishes without supporting documentation is laughable, especially considering the large number of studies that show foods like this have significant impacts against most cancers.
I do support the idea that more people need to be incorporating a wider variety of unprocessed fruits and vegetables, but the complete redirection of consumption of other whole food plant based items without having any supporting evidence doesnt work for me. I dont recommend this book.
Instead I recommend that you purchase "How Not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger MD. All of the recommendations in his book are backed by studies.
