Histoire
More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell University, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found, when combined with findings in Campbell's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

From tuberculosis to bird flu and HIV to coronavirus, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: Human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these pathogens - both pre-existing ones and those newly identified - emerge and re-emerge throughout history, sparking epidemics and pandemics that have resulted in millions of deaths around the world. How did these diseases come about? And what - if anything - can we do to stop them and their fatal march into our countries, our homes, and our bodies?

Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in. Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.

Diet is an essential component of a client's clinical profile. Few therapists, however, have any nutritional training, and many don't know where to begin. In Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health, Leslie Korn provides clinicians with a practical guide to the complex relationship between what we eat and the way we think, feel, and interact with the world. Where there is mental illness there is frequently a history of digestive and nutritional problems. Digestive problems in turn exacerbate mental distress.

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease challenges conventional cardiology by posing a compelling, revolutionary idea—that we can, in fact, abolish the heart disease epidemic in this country by changing our diets. Drawing on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects.

Description
New York Times Bestseller
“This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“Absolutely the best book I’ve read on nutrition and diet” –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution
From the physician behind the wildly popular website NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.
The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America-heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more-and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.
The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.
History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.
In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

We all need to listen to this book, then go out and buy the hard copy for an excellent reference and sign up for the free website that has data driven nutrition facts. Amazing! No more fad diets, Keto, low carb, or anything other than data driven, evidence based nutrition...this was long overdue! Thank you Dr. Greger!!!

Loved this book, read it, have a digital copy and wanted the Audible copy so I could listen to it all the time. I have heard the book many times now and there is just so much information in it that there are items I missed or forgot so you need this book. Great for improving your health while you drive to work. I gave my doctor a copy and she now recommends it to her patients. #Audible1

THE BEST!
This is amazing. One of my all time favourites. So much knowledge. So much information. So motivating. So inspiring. If you’re looking for a “reason” to get your health back or “get back on track” this should do it. This book will make you care about your health, and it will give you reasons why & how. This is my third time listen to it, yes THIRD! And I plan on listening to it over and over. I love this book (and I love how not to diet, AND the cook books) oh and I love Dr. Greger to! 11+ years of listening to him when I turned 20, and he changed my life for the best. Thank you Dr. Micheal Greger & Team for all the hard work you do for everyone!

Dr. G - please write a more advanced book!
This is an excellent book if not familiar with Dr. Greger's work, and a good one even if you are. Short story: Go to the author's website: NutritionFacts.org.
By 'overall' I mean WRITING, for performance the NARRATION and narrator, story means CONTENT. I could listen to the worst narrator read great literature and a great narrator reciting the telephone book and be satisfied. This book is excellent and very good respectively. The first part is mostly data and conclusions, the second part is about specific types of food. Works for me.
Writing: 4/5 -- I didn't buy this for writing, I bought it for facts. Facts-a-plenty here and well-organized. I might get the hard copy to do a quick read. However, the very best thing about this book is the fact that the author did something that no other author did in all of my 20 audible books or any of my Scribd audio books I have listened to -- he titled the chapters! This alone makes it a great deal.
Narration: 5/5 -- Excellent. I find Dr. G's voice sincere and amusing. Best he is the author. Although typically I prefer a deep voiced narrator who talks slow, Dr. G's slightly nasal fast voice and his unplaceable-to-me regional accent suits me fine, especially as like all narrators I slow it down to 85% or less. I started with this hilarious yet deadly serious video on youtube and got hooked to check in at his website periodically...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7KeRwdIH04
Content: 3.5/5 -- But, "Tell me something I don't already know Dr. Greger!" For over five years I have watched many of his videos and read some of his reports -- both on his free website. I am a virtually life-long (45 years) ethical vegetarian eating only whole foods, on what he calls "plant-based diet". So he is 'preaching to the converted' for 17 hours. Never the less I did learn many fascinating practical specific dietary things. However, the gist of the book is, repeatedly verified by scientific studies -- give up all flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry, etc), also ideally stop all eggs and milk products. Yawn. I backslid and when lazy on the road I started eating eggs in the 1980s (only free range now, which I suspect they are not truly) and for six months I have been eating shellfish once a week, and dairy (especially kefir) whenever I can get my hands on it at the church foodbank where I volunteer. The data has me questioning whether I should better be 90% vegetarian or become vegan for the first time in my life, in 'middle age'. My resistence is not based on science but simply the offensive and fanatical social justice warrior mentality of vegans and not wanting to be elitist (and anti-social).
Sample enlightenments (I have simplified).
- Dr. Michael Greger's work is (was?) blessed with the sponsorshop of a Canadian couple, that's why it is free
- Does 4 Brazil nuts per week reduces LDL cholesterol for a month?
- fish oil is snake oil
- frying fish carries a airborne health risk
- supplements useless compared to real food
- the most antioxidants are in herbs and spices
- saffron helpful in Alzheimer's
- cardio exercise (but not strength and flexibility) exercise useful in preventing Alzheimer's
- defecating soon-after-eating and in volume is a good sign
- men can donate blood to reduce heme iron overload
- hard alcohol in moderation is useful *only* for those leading unhealthy lives and eating a poor diet. For those who are not, it is counter-productive
- is red wine good for you? Sure, but grape juice is better
- *unpublished* research on drugs show them to be ineffective against depression
- Harvard studies show vegan diet ideal however they don't promote because 'unrealistic'
- USDA has contradictory responsibilities (one is supporting animal husbandry)
- kimchee is NOT healthy (stomach cancer rates high in Korea), but miso, despite high-salt levels is healthy, especially if soup includes garlic/onions
- fruit despite fructose does NOT spike insulin
- goji, barberries, pomegranate and tart cherries all include melatonin
