Book excerpt: The truth is most of the food we eat is killing us. Bad genetics is not necessarily the problem. So don't buy into the dogma that just because a certain disease or health issue runs in your family, you can't do anything about your risk. In today's fast-paced world we have shifted into high gear in our consumption of refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, trans-fatty acids, and sodium. In essence we have turned ourselves into fat-storing machines, and the epidemic rates of adult and childhood obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and premature aging are the unhappy result. The truth is that the plethora of starches, sugars, chemical food additives, and preservatives in our food are wreaking havoc on our body's immune system, hormonal balance, and central nervous system. In Beating Your Genetics, M. Shaun Holt M.D. shows you how to achieve optimal health - for life.
