The complete & up-to-date fat book : a guide to the fat, calories, and fat percentages in your food

by Karen J. Bellerson

A blue-ribbon federal panel of 38 health organizations, ranging from the AMA to the AHA, stated in no uncertain terms that Americans must limit their fat consumption. The Great American diet is composed of more than 40% fat-derived calories. Over the past ten years, studies have linked high-fat intake with hypertension, cancer, heart attack, stroke, and other degenerative diseases. The Complete & Up-to-Date Fat Book lists over 25,000 food products by name and, in many instances, by brand. Fat and Calories, percentages of calories derived from fat... The book is invaluable to anyone who wishes to attack this 'fat' thing seriously.
