About this audiobook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live and The End of Diabetes, an unflinching, provocative exploration of how our food is killing us and the ways in which we are unwitting participants in an unprecedented and exploding health crisis.
Fast food is far more than just the burgers, fries, and burritos served at chain restaurants; it is also the toxic, human-engineered products found in every grocery store across America. These include: cold breakfast cereals; commercial and preserved (deli) meats and cheeses; sandwich breads and buns; chips, pretzels, and crackers; fried foods; energy bars; and soft drinks. Fast foods have become the primary source of calories in the United States and consequently the most far-reaching and destructive influence on our population. The indisputable truth is that our highly processed diet is the source of a national health crisis that is exploding into a genocide with unseen tragic implications.
Heart attacks, strokes, cancer, obesity, ADHD, autism, allergies, and autoimmune diseases all have the same root cause – our addiction to toxic ingredients. New York Times bestselling author, board-certified physician, nutritional researcher, and leading voice in the health field Joel Fuhrman, M.D., explains why the problem of poor nutrition is deeper, more serious, and more pervasive than anyone imagined.
Fast Food Genocide
draws on twenty-five years of clinical experience and research to confront our fundamental beliefs about the impact of what we eat. This book identifies issues at the heart of our country’s most urgent problems. Fast food kills, but it also perpetuates bigotry and derails the American dream of equal opportunity and happiness for all. It leaves behind a wake of destruction creating millions of medically dependent and sickly people burdened with poor-quality lives.The solution hiding in plain sight — a nutrientdense healthful diet — can save lives and enable humans to reach their intellectual potential and achieve successful and fulfilling lives. Dr. Fuhrman offers a life-changing, scientifically sound approach that can alter American history and perhaps save your life in the process.
Joel Fuhrman
Joel Fuhrman – geb. 1953 Der US-Amerikaner Dr. Joel Fuhrman ist Allgemeinarzt mit eigener Praxis, Bestsellerautor, Ernährungswissenschaftler, Vater von vier Kindern, ehemaliger Weltklasse-Eiskunstläufer und in zahlreichen Ernährungs- und Forschungsgremien in den USA aktiv. Sein besonderes Interesse gilt der Erforschung des Zusammenhangs unseres Stoffwechsels mit unserer Ernährung. Dr. Fuhrmans Ansatz ist es, Krankheiten – wie Allergien, Autoimmunerkrankungen, Asthma, Diabetes und auch Krebs – durch Ernährungsumstellungen vorzubeugen und zu heilen. Dafür hat er seine Gesundheits- und Langlebigkeitsformel entwickelt: Gesundheit = Nährstoffe/Kalorien. Entscheidend sind dabei Lebensmittel, die viele Nährstoffe im Verhältnis zu wenigen Kalorien enthalten. Im amerikanischen Fernsehen ist er eine anerkannte Größe und z. B. Gastgeber des populären Fernseh-Specials „3 Schritte zu fantastischer Gesundheit“. Mit weiteren Büchern ist der Arzt in den Bestsellerrängen: „Superimmunität“ und „Essen für die Gesundheit“. Neben seinem Erfolg mit dem in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzten Eat to Live, hat er viele weitere Bücher verfasst. Auf Deutsch sind zum Beispiel noch die Bücher Super Immun und Diabetes einfach wegessen erschienen.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is probably were the official health guides will be in 2030. Most wont follow, but, some who can benefit, will!
Healthy life here I come! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5too much of same information over and over, gets a bit boring at the end of the day!!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Informative and well written with good insight on how nutrition affects our nation’s history and our nation as a whole.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Generally very worthy book, however there are recipes yet you cant access them as there is no book version on scribd
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Didn't find enough value to call it a real read. I'm not recommending it. Author is Joel Fuhrman, and he is scattershot and repeats only what others are writing in a much better fashion. I'd even call him fringe fanatic.
