The betrayal of health
the impact of nutrition, environment, and lifestyle on illness in America
by Joseph D. Beasley
Analyzes America's social and health-care problems. Offers evidence that our bad nutrition, reliance on stimulants, drug and alcohol abuse, and ruined air and water not only have undermined personal health but also have contributed to the destruction of the social fabric; and that, having rendered ourselves toxic and malnourished, we have witnessed not only high infant mortality rates but illiteracy, learning disabilities, and other persistent diseases and syndromes. Discusses the link between sickness and society, between chronic disease and social disorder. Proposes a model for a new bio-behavioral approach to our medical and social ills, and presents the reader with information and tools to effect change on a personal and national level.
