The FODMAP Solution by Shasta Press

Cholesterol is a topic that generates a great deal of interest and also a great deal of controversy. Most of us become concerned about our cholesterol level as we reach middle age, and rightly so since we are told high levels of cholesterol are a major risk factor for heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death and disability in Australia.

This book, with hundreds of scientific references and loads of common sense, will convince even the staunchest skeptic that we can no longer get the nutrients we need from our food alone. On the road from the depleted and sick soils in which our foods are grown to the dinner plate, most of our food’s nutrient content is lost, resulting in a global epidemic of nutritional deficiency. Eating well and supplementing our diet with extra nutrients can prevent a great deal of the chronic illness so common today – from Alzheimer’s to arthritis and cancer to cardiovascular disease. Despite overwhelming evidence of the benefits of nutritional supplementing, the modern medical system, which makes money from your being sick, and the media, who make money by making up stories that sell papers, make wild and ridiculous claims that supplements are dangerous. Our modern medical system says supplements are deadly yet dish out drugs, which frequently address only the symptoms of illnesses and have serious and even lethal side effects. The simplest, cheapest and safest means to obtaining optimum health is to eat well and supplement with nutrients. Informed supplementation can lead to a healthier, happier life for you and your family. As Dr Dingle explains in an easy-to-read style, supplementation should play an important part in our daily routine. And we need sufficient nutrients to get us through the daily ‘grind’ of life in the ‘fast lane’. Fresh vibrant foods such as vegies and fruit are critical to our health, but food alone cannot supply what we need in a world full of processed food, pollution and stress.

This book will change the way you look at cosmetics and personal care products for the better. Based on 10 years of research and over 1000 scientific references it puts the truth about cosmetics and personal care products at your fingertips. Since its first publication as a 60 page pamphlet 20 years ago, science has shown an even clearer link between the toxic chemicals hidden in these products and chronic illness, especially breast cancer. While there may be only small amounts of these chemicals added to these products, we now know they are applied many times each day and directly to our skin. Other chronic health conditions linked with these products include skin conditions, asthma and allergies, weight gain, diabetes and metabolic syndrome and other cancers such as skin and prostate cancers. Many of the toxic chemicals added to these products are quickly and efficiently absorbed through the skin and blood, and can play havoc with your hormones leading to an increase in hormone relate cancers, thyroid dysfunction and reproductive difficulties in both males and females. By reading this book you will learn not just about the health problems associated with these products but which chemicals and products you can avoid and what to look for in a safer product. Making safer choices can go along way to improving your health. There is now just too much science to ignore it.
