Promises to be the most influential and controversial book ever written on children's nutrition. "Dr. Abraham Hoffer, a founding father of the alternative health movement, outlines a holistic and natural approach to diet that emphasizes good nutrition and mineral and vitamin supplements. Hoffer's approach is a strident one: he suggests placing advertising for junk food in the same category as those for tobacco, alcohol, and addictive drugs, and advocates health warnings for dairy products similar to those used for cigarettes. However, he backs up his radical beliefs with sound evidence and provides simple advice for a healthy diet, and an extensive list of the nutrients contained in common foods". -- Quill & Quire Following upon the success of his previous books on orthomolecular nutrition for adults, including Hoffer's Laws of Natural Nutrition: A Guide to Eating Well for Pure Health and Smart Nutrients: A Guide to Nutrients That Can Prevent and Reverse Senility, Dr. Abram Hoffer has written the definitive book on natural nutrition for children. He examines most chronic illnesses suffered by children, with special attention to learning and behavior disorders, and based on over 2,000 case studies, discovers that dietary deficiency is the predominant cause. He recommends against pharmaceutical (ritalin, for example), psychotherapeutic, and surgical intervention in favor of the orthomolecular diet he developed many years ago in cooperation with Dr. Linus Pauling.
