DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK
As a General Practitioner focusing on Integrative Healthcare, I found this book to be outright disgusting. For those with little to no nutritional background, it is dangerous. When I came to the section about eating the sinuses and brains of mammals I wanted to vomit. Hey Sally, have you heard of Mad Cow disease? (aka Creutzfeld-Jacobs disease).
In addition, most of the material is not from scientific, peer reviewed journals. Rather, it is from material generated and written by the authors from their previous articles.
Thirdly, when you go to a website recommended by Ms. Fallon in this book, you see that all sort of gimmicky health things are for sale--WAY TO GO! It is linked with the Weston Price Foundation, an entity with little credibility. If you are looking for a good book full of scientifically based research studies by one of the most prominent biochemical researchers, try reading The China Study. You can then draw your own conclusions about the link between plant based protein and health, and animal based protein and disease.
I think this book should be banned and I am thoroughly disgusted to have wasted good money on it.
