If this sounds like you, you may be one of the millions of North Americans with Metabolic Syndrome.

- Detailed information on natural supplements that can be used to combat the risk factors of MSX
- Recipes and meal plans that will help you make the immediate lifestyle changes required if you are one of the millions at risk for MSX

--Sam Graci, author of the Path to Phenomenal Health and The Food Connection

Worse than the repetition, I detected the occasional contradiction from section to section. On more than one occasion I found myself wondering, "just what does this author believe about xxx".
I pressed on from the first few chapters, trying to ignore the repetition and inconsistencies, looking for more good info, but didn't find much. The section on supplements is misleading. The author picks out a few studies to show how the supplements she discusses supposedly do great things. The problem is the author doesn't note that there are other, contradictory studies, and that in truth, the jury is still out on most on them (fish oil, excepted).
This kind of book really bugs the crap out of me. My impression is that it does more to earn the author a few bucks than it does to help those of us who really need it. It could have been a great book, had the entire book been as well written as the first few chapters, and had it been clear about the questionable supplement research.
