Nutrition

How to Live Longer and Feel Better

Copyright 2006, Oregon State University Press ISBN 978-0870710964

by Dr. Linus Pauling

First published in 1986, this is the twentieth anniversary edition.

From the Introduction: “This book discusses some simple and inexpensive measures that you can take to lead a better and longer life, with greater enjoyment and fewer illnesses. The most important recommendation is that some vitamins be taken every day to supplement the vitamins that you get in your food. The best amounts of the supplementary vitamins and the best way to take them are discussed in the first chapters of the book, and the reasons for taking them are discussed in the following chapters.”

This is the book that captivated me about nutrition. Dr. Pauling states his case clearly and most convincingly in a very easy to read style. My top recommendation.

Carlton Fredericks’ New Low Blood Sugar and You

by Carlton Fredericks

rederickís is a leading authority on nutrition. His books make a lot of sense and are easy to read. This one discusses the severe problems associated with refined sugar and how our tremendous consumption leads to hypoglycemia. Refined sugar is, in my opinion, the most important food for most everyone to restrict their consumption.

News, practitioners, organizations, books, products.

Nicely laid out. Some interesting resource links.

Large database of health issues.

Obviously technical, but worth a visit.

Technical as well. A good source for recent research papers.

Good overview of orthomolecular medicine (a term coined by Linus Pauling).

Lots of links to nutrition sites, including Cforyourself.

A very interesting (to me) site funded by the National Science Foundation. They provide the “Science behind the news”.

A thorough, well laid out site full of nutrition advice. Tends to the conventional wisdom, but overall, well worth visiting.
