I like to think that the ideas in Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book, Disease-Proof Your Child will change the world!
Dr. Fuhrman is a family physician in New Jersey who helps his patients to realize health and deal with chronic diseases by adopting a high-quality plant-based diet. He is also author of Eat to Live. In his latest book, he considers the impact of the Standard American Diet (SAD) on children in terms of setting them up for medical conditions, such as ear infections, obesity, and diabetes in childhood, and for cancer and heart disease later in life. The scope of this problem is staggering and tragic in industrialized nations!
Dr. Fuhrman offers recommendations for introducing a health-supporting plant-based diet to children in a way that will help this become their normal/desired way of life. He clearly illustrates the importance of quality nutrition for children and gives practical suggestions for helping parents make changes that will support their family's health.
I hope readers will not be put off by what may be a gradiose-sounding title. Dr. Furhman is a dedicated physician who provides clear, well-researched, high-quality information that is backed by his personal and extensive professional experience. His work rings true as an expression of great integrity and wise compassion.
