How often have you felt whipsawed by the experts, confused by conflicting advice, or torn with guilt over what you eat, drink, think? Prepare yourself for a shock: You can relax, enjoy life, and still be healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenowned for candid straight talk on radio and television, Dr. Dean Edell applies his unique common-sense perspective to America's growing obsession with health. Frank and iconoclastic, Dr. Edell walks readers through a lifetime of experience from deep inside twin worlds of media and medicine. As one of the first media doctors, he knows better than anyone the dangers of distorted medical reporting. With colorful detail, he shows how medical consumers are made neurotic at a time when people are healthier than ever before. Dr. Edell sorts through the morass of research, distinguishing documentable fact from panic-inducing fiction. With trademark humor, grace, and style, he shares with us the essential reassuring facts about our health: you can be fatter than you think; too much exercise might kill you; and yes, sex will add years to your life \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDid You Know That...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who crave ice chips may have a nutritional deficiency?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturated fat may reduce the risk of stroke?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDementia appears to be less common among those who eat more fish?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can lose weight by fidgeting, chewing on a pencil, or drinking coffee?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSex can cure headaches?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying an instrument is not only good for your mental health, it burns 160 calories an hour?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061096976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 5.30w x 0.93d","brand":"Dean Edell, David Schrieberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44524505202869,"sku":"9780061096976","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8115e877-b846-4e86-ae32-16e1014383e7.jpg?v=1722919769","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/eat-drink-be-merry-americas-doctor-tells-you-why-the-health-experts-are-wrong-9780061096976","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
