Though food is supposed to be one of life's simple
pleasures, few things cause more angst and confusion. Every
day we are bombarded with come-ons for the latest diet,
promises for "clinically proven" miracle ingredients, and
warnings about contaminants in our favorite foods. It's
enough to give anybody indigestion. Packed with useful-and surprising-information, Coffee Is
Good for You cuts through the clutter to reveal what's
believable and what's not in a fun and easily digestible way. You'll find out: Locally grown produce isn't necessarily more healthful
than fruits and vegetables from across the globe
Alcohol does cause breast cancer
You don't need eight glasses of water a day for good health
Milk isn't necessary for strong bones
Oatmeal really can lower cholesterol
Sea salt isn't more healthful than regular salt
Low-fat cookies may be worse for you than high-fat cheese
