This cohesive, well-organized presentation of each vitamin includes key words, case studies, and coverage of the metabolic functions of appropriate vitamins. The readability of this complex content is highly regarded by students, instructors, researchers, and professionals alike. - Includes diagnostic trees for vitamin deficiencies to help readers visually understand and recognize signs of specific deficiencies - Updated tables and figures throughout serve as quick references and support key takeaways - Provides learning aids, such as call-out boxes to increase comprehension and retention of important concepts
In 1961, after Dr. Lee and the vitamin product company lost their case in a Supreme Court ruling, this book for all practical purposes ceased to exist. An agreement with the government led to the destruction of all of Dr. Lee's research on whole food nutrition as well as the destruction of many of the books now available in the Lee library. He was forbidden to lecture on medicine, nutrition, and health.When IFNH received the stewardship of the Lee Foundation and the rights to all its publications in 1997, one of our first priorities was to reprint Vitamin News. At first glance this didn't seem like a difficult task. After reviewing many of the copies that had been bootlegged over the years we were surprised to find much was missing. With the help of many of the old believers we are proud to bring you this new edition with its 28 missing articles, as well as a vast number of missing peer references. For those of you who remember trying to find something in one of the old copies, you will be more than pleased to find a table of contents and index with this book. The book has grown from about 198 pages to just under 400 pages.So often we are asked where is the research backing up your recommendations for whole food nutrition? This book is packed full of references from peer journals using whole food nutrition. This work was done before the pharmaceutical companies subverted our university research departments with unlimited funds and synthesized chemical byproducts. Remember almost all the research done prior to World War II in nutrition was done with food.
A riveting work of investigative journalism that charts the rise of the dietary supplement craze and reveals the dangerous—and sometimes deadly—side of these highly popular and completely unregulated products. Over 60 percent of Americans buy and take herbal and dietary supplements for all sorts of reasons—to prevent illness (vitamin C), to ease depression (St. John’s wort), to aid weight loss (ephedra), to boost the memory (ginkgo biloba), and even to cure cancer (shark cartilage, bloodroot)—despite the fact that few of these “natural” supplements have been proven to be safe or effective. The vitamin and herbal supplement industry generates over $20 billion a year by selling products that promise to cure or fix, but are produced and marketed essentially without oversight. And while the media has been quick to sensationalize the benefits of supplements, few have taken a hard look at the dangers posed by many of the remedies flooding the market today. Award-winning journalist Dan Hurley breaks the silence for the first time in Natural Causes. From the snake-oil salesmen of the early twentieth century, to rise of the health food movement in the sixties and seventies, Hurley charts the remarkable growth of an industry built largely on fraud, and reveals the backroom politics that led to the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, which effectively freed the industry from FDA oversight. In unprecedented detail, he shows how supplement manufacturers have concealed the truth about dozens of untested treatments and the shocking rise in deaths, disfigurements, and life-threatening injuries caused by products deceptively promoted as “safe and natural.” Most importantly, he provides a telling look at why, in an age of unprecedented scientific advancement, we continue to buy and believe in remedies for which little evidence exists—and why the supplements we take to promote our health may be doing far more harm than good. As Hurley shows, the dietary supplement craze may be one of the greatest swindles ever perpetrated on the American public—one that feeds billions of dollars each year into the pockets of lobbyists, politicians, and any charlatan who wants to slap a label on a bottle and tout it as the next big “natural cure.” Blending hard facts with spellbinding personal stories, Natural Causes is a must-read for anyone who has ever popped a multivitamin or an herb, and provides a hard-hitting, frightening look at a cultural trend that is out of control.

"The fourth edition of this bestselling book continues to provide the latest coverage of the biochemistry and physiology of vitamins and vitamin-like substances. Cross-cutting, health-related themes present insights into the use of vitamins not just for general nutritional balance, but with emphasis on their roles in the prevention and/or treatment of specific health issues such as inflammatory diseases, overweight and immune function. Information is presented to address the roles of vitamins in gene expression and epigenetics, providing important information in the further development of personalized medical treatments and establishing appropriate dietary programs based on individual genetic profiles. Those working in nutrigenomic and pharmaceutical developments will use the information to identify potential benefits of vitamins alone or in combination."--Page 4 of cover.
In Vitamania, award-winning journalist Catherine Price takes readers on a lively journey through the past, present and future of the mysterious micronutrients known as human vitamins -- an adventure that includes poison squads and political maneuvering, irradiated sheep grease and smuggled rats. Part history, part science, part personal exploration, Price's witty and engaging book reveals how vitamins have profoundly shaped our attitudes toward eating, and investigates the emerging science of how what we eat might affect our offspring for generations to come.--AMAZON.
