by Michael Greger
Greger argues that a whole-food, plant-based diet can prevent and often reverse the 15 leading causes of death, from heart disease to cancer. He marshals thousands of peer-reviewed studies to recommend his 'Daily Dozen' food checklist as a prescription for longevity.
In this collection, How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease references 3 other books.
It draws on The Emperor of All Maladies, Why We Get Sick and Silent Spring.
