It is sort of despicable for an MD to mass market his own wonder creams and potions, but according one of my surgical resident friends--that's dermatology. Although a bit of out of date now, this is still an interesting read. Vanity aside.

Real over 30 birthday reading here. As a read it's repetitive and with some serious product placement for his line of skin care products so I'll just give you the essential tip: AVOID SUGAR! Anyone who knows me knows this isn't what I wanted to hear. Sugars chains bond to protein chains and cause all manner of deterioration .... so potatoes are out, browned/carmelized foods the devil, breaded proteins like ammo ready for war....
Now drinking fish oil straight out of the carton, upping More...

I am a big fan of Dr. Perricone, and this book still had useful and interesting information, but it felt more like he was trying to sell something in this one than in his other books.

Makes an excellent case for increasing the intake of foods high in antioxidants and for avoiding cooking methods that promote the formation of harmful aging substances in the body. I also liked the grocery list and exercises included in the book.

Loved the book. Easy to flip through and find what interests you. The book also discuses environmental issues, dealing with food, fish, and spices as far as "eco-friendly" sellers. It gives lists of what fish are most environmentally friendly and which ones should be wild or farm raised. Lots of information here. Holistic and well researched.
