Fast food genocide : how processed food is killing us and what we can do about it / Joel Fuhrman, M.D. with research and contributions by Robert B. Phillips.

Fuhrman, Joel, (author.). Phillips, Robert B., (author.).

Summary:

From cold breakfast cereals and deli meats and cheeses to energy bars, burgers, and soft drinks, fast foods have become the primary source of calories in the United States. They are also the most destructive influence on our population. Heart attacks, strokes, cancer, obesity, ADHD, autism, allergies, and autoimmune diseases all have the same root cause-- our addiction to toxic ingredients. Fuhrman confronts our fundamental beliefs about the impact of what we eat, and shows how a nutrient-dense healthful diet can save lives.
