Synopsis

Cancer specialist Dr. Ron Citron spent years watching his patients dying of an illness that he felt could be prevented--a disease caused in part by poor eating habits. After much research into this area, Dr. Citron has created an anti-cancer diet based on the eating habits of our Cro-Magnon ancestors. Now he makes his evolutionary diet available to all. 16 color photos.

About this title

Review

"Cholesterol" is one of the most confusing words in the health world. Most people assume that because excess cholesterol in your blood is a bad thing, cholesterol in your diet must be dangerous, too. But, as Ronald Citron points out, the two things are unrelated. Excess cholesterol in your bloodstream comes from too much saturated fat in your diet. Eating high-cholesterol food such as shellfish and game meats is extremely healthy; they're generally low in fat and, more important, are extremely low in saturated fat. That's the "evolutionary" part of Citron's plan: if you eat the way our hunter-gatherer Cro-Magnon ancestors ate, you'll avoid health problems because you'll be eating the foods our bodies evolved to consume. More than half of the book consists of recipes and menu plans for putting Citron's theories into practice.
