Carbohydrates Can Kill by Dr. Su

It’s one thing for doctors to prescribe a treatment for their patients when they’ve never personally dealt with that issue. It’s a whole new ball game when your doctor has to follow his or her own advice. Dr. Robert Su is one of those doctors that practices what he preaches. In his book Carbohydrates Can Kill, Dr. Su not only explains the dangers of excessive carbohydrate consumption, but he also gives you his personal story – sharing his struggles and successes while pursuing better health through low-carbohydrate living.

Dr. Su starts out with a thorough job of explaining nutrition, metabolism and digestion. He then moves into the obesity epidemic and explains the many health implications associated with being overweight. The first 4 chapters are basically a crash course in nutrition. If you can wrap your mind around some of these processes, you’ll be armed with knowledge that will really help you understand what is happening metabolically to our society.

Next you’ll read a detailed account of Dr. Su’s personal health issues, and how he used a low-carbohydrate approach to deal with them. He leaves nothing out so you’ll get the whole picture. With chapter 6, Dr. Su explains exactly why carbohydrates can kill and shares a ton of evidence that backs up the many benefits of the low-carb lifestyle. He then finishes up the book with his findings and recommendations for a healthy diet.

Carbohydrates Can Kill is a good read that not only gives you the vital information you need to understand all the nutritional mumbo-jumbo we encounter on a regular basis, but a physicians personal story that is inspiring and encouraging.

Dr. Robert Su cares about helping everyone live a healthier and more satisfying life through low-carb living, and it certainly shows in this book. I’m proud to call him a friend, and you’ll easily see why when you pick up this book.
