Put Your Heart in Your Mouth

“Another vintage Dr Campbell-McBride book – controversial in its take on natural fats, but refreshing in her candid, no-nonsense style and approach to much needed lifestyle and dietary modifications.”—Kenneth Bock, M.D., FAAFP, FACN, CNS, Author of Healing the New Childhood Epidemics

"The history of medicine is rife with practices that actually increased suffering and shortened life, such as bloodletting and treatment with mercury compounds. But nothing compares in detrimental effects to the unscientific cholesterol theory of heart disease, now being used to justify lowfat, low-cholesterol diets for the whole population. The theory is so blatantly wrong that a whole crop of literature has appeared to chronicle its faults. But unlike most of the debunkers offering alternative theories on the cause of heart disease, only Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride zeros in on the most likely cause—the devitalized, additive-laden modern diet, especially the toxic processed vegetable oils that have replaced nutritious animal fats. Put Your Heart in Your Mouth! provides not only a well-written, easy-to-understand expose, but also a practical plan for preventing heart disease and regaining health, one that involves a return to traditional foods and an avoidance of environmental pollutants and common household chemicals. And her recipe section is fantastic! Put Your Heart in Your Mouth! is must reading for anyone interested in diet and health."—Sally Fallon, President The Weston A. Price Foundation, Author of Nourishing Traditions

"It has been my pleasure to read this book. The style of writing is both pleasing and easy to understand. Its organization is appropriate to the stated goal of keeping your body healthy. I particularly like the statement, 'If your body fails you where will you live?' Dr Campbell-McBride has blended an abundance of information from the cause of atherosclerosis to a delightful assortment of old country recipes in such a manner that every word seems appropriate and flows evenly. And she even found room towards the end to seriously trounce the powers that be for getting us into our present nutritional mess. Obviously we cannot trust our leaders. After 40 years of anti-cholesterol brainwashing I have become thoroughly disenchanted with our
leadership. I raised my family on the low cholesterol/low fat diet and counseled all my patients to do the same. I talked at professional organzations and classrooms of the dangers of whole milk, eggs and butter and have written thousands of prescriptions for what cholesterol buster was in vogue at the time. It is terribly difficult to know that because I followed national guidance, I was wrong all that time. Now I am angry at those who guided me and determined it shall not happen again. I thank you for this book and its cutting edge information."—Duane Graveline MD. MPH, former NASA astronaut, aerospace medical research scientist, flight surgeon and family doctor, author of the books Statin Drugs Side Effects and Lipitor, Thief of Memory
