Book Reviews of Enter the Zone
Book Review: This book was a primer
Summary: 2 Stars
What I like most in this book is that
1- The book was the first to explain the importance of "eicosanoids"
2- The book was the first to recognize the contribution of Dr. Gerard Reaven to our understanding of the link excess of starch and health deterioration.
1- The term "eicosanoid" defines a class of active molecules we make from essential fatty acids. Although the explanation about eicosanoids the book offers has become obsolete, one should not forget that in 1995 (the year this book came out) only 44 articles had been published discussing the link diet and eicosanoid production. The idea was brand new. Since then more than 3,400 articles have greatly refined our knowledge.
2- Medical progress is incremental. Sometimes, however, pioneers make a big leap. Dr. Gerald Reaven is such a pioneer. In his initial 1988 lecture entitled "Role of Insulin Resistance in Human Disease". Dr. Reaven was the first to demonstrate that a condition considered a consequence of diabetes type II also exists in many people that are not (yet) diabetic. The condition is insulin overproduction and insulin resistance. It took more than a decade for Dr. Reaven to convince physicians that insulin resistance and insulin overproduction in non-diabetics are realities and a matter of health concern. Again, in 1995, this book was the only one to publish the genial ideas of a precursor ignored by Medicine.
