"This book may help those who are susceptible to illnesses that can be prevented."—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Absolutely the best book I've read on nutrition and diet" –Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution

From the physician behind the wildly popular NutritionFacts website, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America-heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more-and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.

In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day.Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

How about someone spoils it and lists all the foods right here.
I recommend looking up his presentations available on youtube on How Not To Die. He's a very witty and entertaining speaker.

Quote from BeautifulTable6886 :
He is purely evidence based nutrition- not a quack doctor with the latest trends BS diet.

Long before he was well known he simply spoke to other doctors. Via conventions etc
Does he link to, like, just one study or something?

Or does he at least link to a [fairly-balanced] meta analysis?

Asking because lots of quack docs do the 'link to one study' trick to be able to say they are 'evidence-based'.

But it often ends up being a single [poorly-done] study published in some low-rent, fly-by-night journal (that's often barely in volume 2 or 3).

Or as I sometimes jokingly say on Twitter and Facebook...

"Peer review so fast it'll make your head spin... we publish as soon as your check clears!"

My uni library has a copy of this book, but... no reviews of it in any of the food and nutrition journals that we subscribe to (Food & Nutrition, Food & nutrition research, Food & nutrition research briefs, Current topics in food and nutrition, Progress in food & nutrition science, etc).
