Average Customer Review:

Exactly As Described Feb 15, 2010

Product arrived quickly. The description said there was a tear on the cover of the book. I was pleased that it was just a small tear and otherwise the book was in very good condition. This seller was honest and did not try to overplay the condition in order to make a sale.

Some good information Feb 06, 2010

This book does have some good information, but it does not talk at all about eating organic food, grass fed beef, free-range eggs, etc. The poisonous pesticides (殺蟲(chóng)劑) and artificial hormones (激素) in our society have a huge effect on our health and some illnesses probably wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for them.

There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach(方法) probably did not cure many patients.

The second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished(興起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.

The third kind is called “health spas（水療）” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell(咒語(yǔ)), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines(圣壇) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests(牧師) and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.

The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well. Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.
In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸鹽) and nitrites(亞硝酸鹽), commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(標(biāo)簽) of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chick and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.
【小題1】How has science done a bad service to mankind?

A．Diseases caused by food have been done away with.
B．It has caused a lack of information about the value of food.
C．Some harmful materials have been added to our food.
D．Scientists have made food more expensive to eat.
【小題2】What are nitrates used for?
A．They help process packaged food.
B．They keep the color in meats.
C．They cure diseases of cows and chickens.
D．They cause the animals to become fatter.
【小題3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．You can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food.
B．Drugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons.
C．Researchers knew about the harm of food additives about 60 years ago.
D．Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.
【小題4】According to the passage, the FDA might be _________.
A．a(chǎn)n organization which controls the safety of food
B．a(chǎn) producer which makes additives
C．a(chǎn) factory which processes food
D．a(chǎn) hospital which cures cancer
