Food for Thought: Provocative Poems and Evocative Essays
by John L. Smith"Brunch Neither an early breakfast, nor a fashionable late lunch, But rather eaten on the ill-conceived, hopeful hunch, That eating the one single meal, will make you thinner, If to-night you skip your formal, sit-down Sunday dinner. But 1 predict that this will be far from true; For I been watching closely everyone of you. Scoffing bacon, egg, sausage, chicken and danish down. Enough to make the Duchess of York, groan and frown. The problem is, that in having paid table d'hote, A sense of gastronomic proportion is now totally remote, As you eat heartily to get your money's worth. You'll bloat your tummy and backside girth Try to lose the ugly weight you've gained, if you are able, By splitting your sides with laughter while sitting at the table. By applauding each act with an energetic, standing ovation, Much easier than a fortnight of painful, near-starvation True this poem is but one extended pun. And may even make you want to scream, cut and run; But nowadays where can you read, hear and imagine so much fun. So squeaky clean, and not the usual, very crude and very dumb."

Recommended Dietary Allowances (10th edition)
by Subcommittee on the Tenth Edition of the RDAs National Research CouncilSince its introduction in 1943, "Recommended Dietary Allowances" has become the accepted source of nutrient allowances for healthy people. These Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are used throughout the food and health fields. Additionally, RDAs serve as the basis for the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances, the Food and Drug Administration's standards for nutrition labeling of foods. The "10th Edition" includes research results and expert interpretations from years of progress in nutrition research since the previous edition and provides not only RDAs but also "Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intakes" - provisional values for nutrients where data were insufficient to set an RDA. Organized by nutrient for ready reference, the volume reviews the function of each nutrient in the human body, sources of supply, effects of deficiencies and excessive intakes, relevant study results, and more. The volume concludes with the invaluable "Summary Table of Recommended Dietary Allowances," a convenient and practical summary of the recommendations.

The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program To Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes,Allergies, And Asthma
by Jack ChallemWhat is the Inflammation Syndrome? It's the cumulative effect of low-grade inflammation -including the aches and pains that we all experience-that grows into chronic, debilitating disease. The Inflammation Syndrome breaks down your body, making you feel old, tired, and sick. Triggered by inflammatory foods in your diet, the Inflammation Syndrome wreaks havoc on your health, paving the way for such serious diseases as heart disease, diabetes, Syndrome X, obesity, arthritis, allergies, asthma-even some cancers. Written by the best-selling coauthor of the groundbreaking Syndrome X, the book that helped bring the attention of the public to insulin resistance and the diabetes epidemic, The Inflammation Syndrome is the first major book to describe the broad role inflammation plays in disease-and to show you how to reverse and heal it. Drawing on the cutting-edge research being done all over the world-research that has led to the successful treatment of many people who were considered unbeatable or incurable by conventional medicine-Jack Challem provides a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation through an easy-to-follow nutritional program. Challem includes quizzes and tests to assess inflammation levels and risks; anti-Inflammation Syndrome recipes and menu plans; and easy ways to use healthy fats and other nutrients to quench the fires of inflammation. Challem reveals many of the hidden dangers in foods that set the stage for inflammation, causing aches, pains, and allergic reactions and increasing the long-term risk of life- threatening diseases. He shares the latest information on the problems with conventional prescription and over-the- counter anti-inflammatory drugs. He also offers dramatic case histories of patients treated by nutritionally oriented practitioners and up-to-the-minute information on and dosage recommendations for the best natural anti-inflammation supplements, such as fish oils, vitamin E, herbs, and many other natural remedies. Providing a powerful plan to safely prevent and overcome inflammatory disorders, The Inflammation Syndrome shows just how easy it can be to take charge of one's diet and health-and to feel great.
