This watershed reference presents epidemiological, clinical, and experimental evidence that cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and chronic lung disease originate through adaptations to the intrauterine environment. These new findings suggest that major chronic diseases in adult life may be prevented by improving the nutrition of girls and young women to promote healthy fetal development during pregnancy.Focusing on prenatal programming-the process whereby stimuli or insults at critical early periods of life have lasting effects-Fetal Origins of Cardiovascular and Lung Disease demonstrates the associations between low birthweight and cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes in adults reveals the association between prenatal influences and hypertension and asthma in adult life describes pancreatic development in the fetus when the mother is malnourished or experiences metabolic disturbances during pregnancy examines the effects of undernutrition during gestation in experimental animal models discusses how the human fetus adapts to variations in maternoplacental nutrient supply details fetal influences on lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, the somatotrophic axis, andrenarche, and pubarche and more!Investigating when nurturing begins to influence and modulate gene expression, Fetal Origins of Cardiovascular and Lung Disease is critical for pulmonologists, cardiologists, pediatricians, neonatologists, obstetricians, internists, family practice physicians, and hospital interns and residents.

This book is about incorporating vegetables, fruits and whole grains into your diet and eating less refined carbohydrates and sugar. Dr. Slyper, a pediatric endocrinologist, helps you achieve this goal in three ways. First, in the cookbook section, he provides 190 enticing and healthful recipes for day to day cooking that your family is sure to enjoy. Second, he presents a framework for meal planning. For this he uses the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes mixing different food groups meat with vegetables and grains, grains with vegetables and fruit to achieve wonderful tasting combinations that fit easily into American food preferences. Third, in the health guide and scientific evidence section, he explains why the typical American diet is harmful to your family's health, how and why the Mediterranean diet can be used as a basis for successful weight maintenance and weight loss by controlling hunger and regulating carbs, and why this diet effectively prevents and treats cardiovascular disease. So what are you waiting for? Get started on Family Friendly Mediterranean-style Cooking!

Dr. Seneff weaves her research into a fictionalized story of two mothers on a quest to determine why everyone’s health has deteriorated. Dr. Erica is the mother of an autistic child and pediatric physician who has teamed up with her best friend, Cindy, to help find answers for her son’s and her patients’ health issues. The autism spectrum was not covered well when she went to medical school, because the autism rate in 1970 was only 1 in 2,222 – compared to 1 in 68 today. At the time, it was called childhood schizophrenia with very little research available and no effective treatments. By 2032, every other child born in America will be autistic! Together, the two mothers slowly uncover the multiple biological reasons for this autism epidemic, and they identify the toxic chemicals in the environment that plausibly explain the epidemic. They become obsessed with solving the riddle of autism, and they discover that many other diseases alarmingly on the rise are also connected to this web of toxicity. This is a must read for all concerned with the autism epidemic and the overreach of Big Pharma and the Agrochemical Industry!

The findings of the Framingham Heart Study–begun in 1948–have been nothing short of revolutionary. Over the years, they have provided conclusive evidence that cardiovascular disease is largely the result of measurable and modifiable risk factors, and that individuals can gain control over their heart health by looking carefully at their diet and lifestyle and changing their intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, and tobacco smoke; losing weight or becoming physically active; and regulating their levels of stress and blood pressure. It is principally because of the Heart Study that this understanding of what was once deemed a “silent killer” today seems intuitive.The Framingham Heart Study was launched not long after Franklin Delano Roosevelt succumbed to a massive stroke, the result of runaway blood pressure, at a time when cardiologists in the United States numbered fewer than 400 and heart disease was the nation’s number- one cause of death. The study asked 5,209 citizens of Framingham, Massachusetts–who overate, smoked, and suffered heart attacks and strokes to the same extent as the rest of the United States–to undergo biennial physicals, blood tests, and detailed interviews concerning their behavior. The results changed the course of medical history.Written by the Study’s current director and a national health reporter, A Change of Heart is the first account of this heroic cooperation between the U.S. Public Health Service and the people of Framingham. It is a fascinating, clear-eyed assessment of the achievements and challenges of the Framingham Heart Study to date, and of its continuing importance.
