Five Minutes to Health - A Book Review

Marilyn Joyce is one very special registered dietician who
disagrees with the American Dietetic Association's
"Everything in Moderation" mantra. Ms. Joyce recognizes that
some foods just do not do the body any good, and right atop
that list of harmful substances is cow's milk.

Page 16 of her book, "5 Minutes to Health," gives a thumbs
down to butter, cream cheese, ice cream, and whole milk
products.

Her book is more than just a list of no-nos.

CANCER SURVIVOR

Marilyn discovered that "getting back to basics" was her way
to regaining health.  "5 Minutes to Health" explores the
various issues involved in simplifying a major consideration
that impacts our daily lives: the foods we eat.  What we
buy, how we buy it, where we buy it, how we store it, how we
prepare it, and how we feel about it are all very important
aspects of the food we eat and how it affects our health.

TIME IS ESSENTIAL

To Marilyn, time is of the essence.  Her formula for healthy
eating is simple, quick, easy, and fun.  And it makes sense.

A RECIPE FROM HER BOOK

We tried her Teriyaki Marinade on large portabello mushrooms
which we later barbecued, then served on hamburger rolls.
You deserve a break today!  Try this non-meat substitute and
you'll come back for seconds and thirds.

1 tbl. minced fresh ginger        Juice of 1 large fresh lemon
