内容简介

Foreword
This popularly written medical science book serves two
major sectors of the reading public: 1) physicians and their al-

health maintenance. The numerous references and scientific
presentations of the information will serve the first group
well??? while the stepwise structure of the book??? ready explana-
tions??? good humor??? and Glossary will help the general public.
For both groups??? this book offers two things:
First??? it represents a cohesive \"clearinghouse\" of infor-
mation that??? to date??? had previously been scattered in
diverse sources ranging from medical books to media
headlines. The book reveals the medical scientific bases
for preventing the major lethal disorders??? stressing??? for
example??? the molecular level reasons why it may be
possible to prevent or delay 80% of all cancers. More-
over this data??? rather than being presented in a \"dry\"
encyclopedic form??? is brought to life literally and figura-
tively??? so that it serves as both a reference work and as
an educational tool. Instead of dealing solely with nutri-
ent supplements??? the book is concerned primarily with
the molecular biochemical pathology that underlies the
major human disorders and the effects of various nutri-
ents upon them.

be taken by physicians and the general public??? based on
the information provided.
