Book Reviews of Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples

Book Review: Deceit in a Book......
Summary: 1 Stars

"Healthy @ 100" claims that milk/dairy is bad for you, but what the book fails to mention is that the European and Near-Eastern Caucasian people underwent a natural selection process that enabled them to digest milk. Meaning, that ancient individuals that couldn't digest milk died off, and the humans that could digest milk thrived and reproduced, and thus furthered their milk digestion genetic make-up .

So obviously, mother nature thought it best to consume dairy products. The individuals with the ability to digest milk grew big and strong, and survived, the ones who couldn't, shriveled up and perished.

If you saw John Robbins interviewed in the movie "Super Size Me", he looked emaciated, quite honestly, I thought he looked liked an AIDS/HIV patient. Sunken eyes and very little muscle mass. Hardly the image most men strive for.

No, I refuse to give up dairy......ice cream, yogurt, sour cream, cheese and milk chocolate is what I live for. I hate the taste of chalky tasting, estrogen laden soy.

anyway, all the claims in "Healthy @ 100" are a crock of cow excrement.
