There is currently an epidemic of digestive illness in this country, an epidemic
that can be traced to the foods we eat and the way we live. One-third to one-half
of all adults suffer from some sort of digestive problem, and faulty digestion is
directly responsible for a vast array of other ailments — everything from
bad breath, ulcers, heartburn, and constipation to colitis, diverticulitis, and
irritable bowel syndrome.
Disorders that are caused indirectly by this problem include arthritis, chronic
fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and migraine headaches. In this well-researched,
comprehensive book, noted nutritionist Elizabeth Lipski helps readers understand
the complex interrelationships of the digestive process.
