Synopsis
There is no such thing as an average person, we are all genetically and biologically unique. But when sperm meets egg, our characteristics are not locked in stone. This work argues that bad genes do not necessarily cause disease by themselves, and nutrition and environment can alter the outcome.

From the Publisher
Your nutritional needs linked to your unique body chemistry
Fourty years ago Dr. Roger Williams, a University of Texas biochemist, published this groundbreaking work, which is only now coming to be accepted and understood by the medical community. Until now, generalized dietary recommendations like the RDAs were the norm. This timeless classic links our biological diversity with individual nutritional needs and shows you hwo to determine and meet those needs for optimal well-being.

Customer Reviews

Essential reading for Biomedical Scientists
Anybody studying Biology past A-level would find this book useful. Just in case you wondered whether everybody was the same, you will discover that it is possible to live, even if your blood chemistries are outside the so-called normal range, the same as if your internal organs are in slightly different places from your peers. It also indicates why there is no one-size-fits-all diet, & that a so-called optimum pH (acid-alkaline balance)does not exist - it depends on your internal chemistry.

A Nutrition Classic That Everyone Should Read
This is one of the most important books written in the history of nutrition. A must for everyone who wants to appreciate how one diet, one supplement regime, and one food pyramid do not fit all. We all have greatly differing needs, and Dr. Williams documents all of this eloquently and convincingly. This book should be read by everyone who cares about their health. It will make them realize that only when they understand their individual nutrition needs and meet them can they have optimal health. Thank you, Keats, for reprinting this timeless book!
