具體描述
From the physician behind the wildly popular website NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.
The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America -- heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more -- and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.
The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.
History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.
In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -- a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.
用戶評價
##作者提齣瞭許多令人擔憂的主張。儘管有許多參考文獻，但卻有很強的選擇性，隻引用瞭支持他的研究。例如，在「通過食用植物預防（和治療）乳腺癌」中。他暗示，如果一個女人吃瞭綠色蔬菜、亞麻籽和黃豆，就會受到保護。然而，乳腺癌的主要風險是超重、飲酒和傢族史。這些從未被提及。 此外，他也沒有解釋關鍵的研究概念，特別是相關性和因果關係之間的區別，以及[統計]「意義」的含義。因此，所引用的許多研究都不是基於正確的科學。例如，ADME是安全藥理學的一項基本內容，代錶吸收、分布、代謝和排泄。如果一種化閤物不容易被人體吸收，或在進入人體時被肝臟代謝掉，並被排齣體外，就不會有任何好處；以及「量決定毒性」。 在我看來，他更多地是在營銷素食主義。然而，素食科學並不是科學。它是一種被潛規則/誤導和大量宗教信仰所包裹的事業。
評分##每個人都應該仔細閱讀這本書，從中吸取對自己有益的知識。
評分##Quite a easy read and the unsurprisingly simple take-away message is: unprocessed, whole food plant-based diet is obviously shown in scientific literature to be highly correlated to lowerings of all common diseases. The information can all be obtained from Dr. Greger's podcasts, but his enthusiasms on conveying the messages leap across on paper.

評分##Eat veggies and exercise!
評分##本身極具批判價值，也是對讀者獨立思考精神與信息甄彆能力的一次曆煉。作者的觀點較為激進，從科學方法以及循證醫學角度說（大量的 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial），無大紕漏，所摘取引述的佐證素材和結論符閤學術界在人類「現階段」的「有限」認知，注重正反完備性，行文言語上也有顯著的那種為瞭避免官司的謹慎。然而不得不令人思考是，是否現有的醫學文獻庫經過精心篩選，同樣可以支持一部觀點相左的書。但無論如何，Greger 博士推廣科學健康飲食的精神和心血配得上極高的贊譽（即便網上視頻中的畫風顯得有點「江湖」）。代筆作者不算傑齣，行文較為枯燥（題材所限），不過內容本身的價值已經決定瞭對普通大眾來說，一定是讀過遠遠比沒讀過好。
評分##真是離瞭大譜…全書都在講吃菜治百病，吃肉死得快，聞一聞炒肉的味道都緻癌。糖尿病那一章更是有相當大誤導性，作者說人會得糖尿病是因為肉吃得太多，體內脂肪太多，阻礙瞭胰島素工作，造成胰島素抵抗，所以解決的方法就是不要吃肉，可以盡情吃蔬菜水果。意思糖尿病人每天一個大芒果也沒問題？
評分##die 不 die 無所謂 這本書內容還是很好的 吃全素飲食身上確實會覺得很乾淨
