This expanded second edition provides the latest information on restoring your body’s acid-alkaline balance • Discusses the role of enzyme supplements, prebiotic and probiotic complexes, and antioxidants in neutralizing and eliminating acids • Addresses the relationship of proper hydration to essential enzyme activity and acid elimination • Outlines a sample alkaline detoxification diet Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body. As a result, they are afflicted with health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis. To enjoy optimum health, the body needs balanced quantities of alkaline and acid substances. In The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in vast improvements in health. With two new chapters, this updated and expanded second edition provides the latest information on proper hydration and deacidification, important alkalizing supplements, and how to eliminate the body’s accumulated acids through intestinal cleansing. It also includes a new, detailed example of an alkaline detoxifying diet. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods based on their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods by their effect on the body, explaining that some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them. He describes how to determine your acid levels and how to design a diet best suited for your particular health needs.

Dr. Robert Lustig’s “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” lecture is a YouTube hit. If you are one of the approximately 2 million people who have watched it, then The Real Truth About Sugar is for you. If you haven’t yet seen the video, this book is also for you. Dr. Lustig’s case against sugar is more than compelling—it’s convincing. Lustig shows how our historically high intake of sugar is linked to the Western lifestyle diseases of Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, many types of heart disease—and quite possibly cancer. His message truly deserves close study and wider distribution, which is where this book comes in. We need to be able to see his ideas, research and conclusions in black and white so that we can absorb it all. With that in mind, The Real Truth About Sugar has time markers for easily referencing the video, a detailed summary, analysis, and reference citations. Given Dr. Lustig’s evidence and persuasive argument, we are going to have to make significant changes in our diet and lifestyle, and knowing the real truth about sugar is the important first step.
