If you are an intelligent person and not a child, reading the first chapter gives you the picture. The references are out dated by 35 years, I'm sure there is more up to date info on this topic. Things change in 35 years.
Basically eat veggies and protein, stay away from chemically injected meat and poultry and dairy (mass produced livestock in North America). Sugar is bad! If you crave it, it's likely because you have an intolerance. Once your system is cleaned out then try adding one food back at a time and see if you react.
There now you don't need to read the outdated book.
