NUTRITION FOR HEALTHY HEARTS

Dr. Barnhard's nutrition and health advice is extreme by the standards of most Americans. He recommends maintaining one's cholesterol at 150, a total vegetarian diet, and 30 minutes of exercise daily. He posits that other countries show less incidence of cancer and heart disease precisely because they follow these recommendations. Barnhard is very enthusiastic, and his belief in his program is evident from his reading. He interviews other physicians who support his viewpoint. His voice is precise but unpolished and offers a nice contrast to the rapid accents and professional tones of some of his guests. A.G.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
