We've been told that dairy does a body good, but the truth is that cheese can be surprisingly dangerous. Loaded with calories, fat, and cholesterol, cheese can make you gain weight and lead to a host of health problems such as high blood pressure and arthritis. Worse, it contains mild opiates that actually make it addictive, triggering the same brain receptors as heroin and morphine. Here, bestselling author Dr. Neal Barnard presents a cutting-edge program to help you break free of cheese addiction so you can finally lose weight, boost energy, and improve your overall health. Presenting an eye-opening exposé of the dairy industry coupled with the latest groundbreaking research on the dangers of cheese consumption, The Cheese Trap will forever change the way you think about that innocent-looking brick of Cheddar or Brie. Featuring a treasury of delicious recipes that will tame even the toughest cravings--frorn pizza and lasagna to ice cream and even "cheesecake"--The Cheese Trap will help you break the cheese habit and improve your health while feeling full, satisfied, and energized.--Jacket. |
