Diet for a New America : How Your Food Choices Affect Your Health, Happiness and the Future of Life on Earth A highly impactful treatment of a simple subject: food. It is a revelation. The poisons we eat and the poor quality of our nutrients is explored in a way that will change forever how you look at what you will put into your body. This book challenges the assumption that it is good to consume the flesh of dead animals and presents startling evidence of the economic and health benefits of no longer eating meat.
Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug Amazon.com: In Caffeine Blues, Cherniske, a nutritional biochemist with more than 25 years of academic research and clinical experience and author of the bestseller The DHEA Breakthrough, reveals the truth about caffeine and explains how to kick the habit forever. Cherniske discusses how caffeine affects the body and brain and why it can increase your risk of dozens of health disorders ranging from osteoporosis, diabetes, and PMS to hypertension and heartburn. After spending 300 pages documenting all of caffeine's evils, Cherniske finally offers a decaffeinated life line: "Off the Bean and on to Vitality," a step-by-step, clinically proven program to help readers kick the habit and boost energy levels naturally. In a real eye-opener, Cherniske gathers a substantial amount of material from scientific journals and puts it all together logically and readably. Caffeine, he points out, doesn't give you energy: it borrows from the adrenals and the liver on a short-term basis and creates metabolic and neurologic stress. Doctors seldom ask patients about caffeine intake because they assume everyone drinks it and, therefore, it can't do any harm. Cumulative effects of caffeine consumption can damage the body and mind, however, and coffee is hardly the only drink containing it. Cherniske emphasizes the dangers of many soft drinks to which caffeine is increasingly added as part of the "cola wars," which should be thought of as waged not between Coke and Pepsi but against people from childhood on. Indeed, soft drink producers make deals with schools to place vending machines so that students can be hooked on caffeine and sugar early. This is not another do-gooder tirade; it is a solidly based work that deserves a broad readership. |
Conscious Evolution : Historically speaking, new worldviews have been responsible for causing major social transformations, says futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard. It occurred in the Renaissance when the idea of progress through knowledge was born. It happened in the United States when the principles of democracy and freedom became institutions. "Now once again a new world view is arising," writes Hubbard. "This idea is the culmination of all human history. It holds the promise of fulfilling the great aspirations of the past and heralds the advent of the next phase of our evolution. It is the idea of conscious evolution." Human beings have now gained the ability to shape their own evolution, explains Hubbard, and therefore the next world task is to become conscious of this power and guide the earth and all its inhabitants into survival and fulfillment of our potential. Born out of the new spirituality, which began as a path toward self- awareness, but has quickly spread into a "social potential movement," Hubbard predicts that the ideology of "conscious evolution" will be seen as a pivotal turning point in human history, leading us into an era of heightened creativity, environmental accountability, and spiritual development. Her message is steeped in intelligent writing and persuasive research. But most enticing, she writes as an optimist as well as a visionary. Rather than buy into the "old story" of imminent self-destruction, Hubbard sees the potential for humanity to create a "new story" that melds all our advances--spiritual, scientific, and social--into a glorious vision for the future. |
