Eat Right-Electrolyte

""This book helps to set the record straight about minerals and their affect on health, an important yet frequently overlooked part of well-being.”-The Plain Dealer(Cleveland, OH)“Dr. Hawkins's book will convince Americans to cut back on processed foods loaded with salt and eat more natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that can restore a proper electrolyte balance in the body and go a long way toward reversing many of the most common health problems that plague so many Americans today.”James J. Kenney, Ph.D., R.D., F.A.C.N.Nutrition Research Specialist, Pritikin Longevity Center“[P]rovides an accurate summary of important scientific studies and their impact on reversing illnesses that may be diet-related.”Neal D. Barnard, M.D.President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine“Hawkins fairly reviews and presents the accumulated scientific evidence showing that high-salt diets increase blood pressure and that diets high in salt, high in protein, and low in fruits and vegetables increase urinary calcium excretion rates and cause calcium losses from bone, thus contributing to the formation of calcium-containing kidney stones and to osteoporosis. He also points out the lack of critical data to support the benefit of various currently popular diets.”Jacob Lemann Jr., M.D.Clinical Professor of Medicine, Nephrology, Tulane University
