| Description : | Mix the latest and most rigorous scientific research, irrepressible old-fashioned entrepreneurship, and the ancient human desire to live forever (or at least a lot longer) and the result is today’s exploding multibillion-dollar antiaging industry. Its achievements are so far mostly marginal, but its promises flow with all the allure of a twenty-first-century fountain of youth. In Eternity Soup, acclaimed science writer Greg Critser takes us to every outpost of the antiaging landscape, home to zealots and skeptics, charlatans, and ingenious clinicians and academics.
We visit a conference of the Caloric Restriction Society, whose members—inspired by certain laboratory findings involving mice—live their lives in a state just above starvation. (“It’s only the first five years that are uncomfortable,” says one.) We meet the new wave of pharmacists who are reviving the erstwhile art of “compounding”—using mortar and pestle to mix extravagantly profitable potions for aging boomers seeking to recapture flagging sexual vitality. Here, too, are the theorists and researchers who are seeking to understand the cellular-level causes of senescence and aging and others who say, Why bother with that? Instead, we should just learn how to repair and replace organs and tissue that break down, like a vintage automobile collector who keeps a century-old Model T shining and running like new.
Eternity Soup is a simmering brew of testosterone patches, human growth hormone (so promising and so potentially dangerous), theories that view aging as a curable disease, laboratory-grown replacement organs (“I want to build a kidney,” says one proponent. “It is such a stup-eed organ!”), and bountiful other troubling, hilarious, and invigorating ingredients. Critser finds plenty of chicanery and credulousness in the antiaging realm but also a surprising degree of optimism, even among some formerly sober skeptics, that we may indeed be on the cusp of something big. And that elicits its own new set of concerns: How will our society cope with a projected new cohort of a million healthy centenarian Americans? How will they liberate themselves from the age segregation that shunts them off to “God’s Waiting Rooms” in the sunbelt? Where will they find joy and meaning to match the inevitable loss that comes with longevity? Eternity Soup is an illuminating, wry, and provocative consideration of a long-dreamed-about world that may now be becoming a reality. |

{ Rating: 5.0 out of 5 } | Smart, funny and thorough Critser conducts an extensive investigation into the world of anti-aging, showing the science, the personalities and the quackery behind this growing movement. Critser also brings his own story into the narrative, which makes it more personal. He is a very insightful writer with a biting sense of humor; he really does make you think about the impracticality and efficacy of calorie restriction, hormone therapy and nutritional supplements while keeping things entertaining. It's quick read and highly recommended. |

Author Judith Barrett lost pounds and inches using these mouthwatering recipes, each of which contains less than three grams of fat per serving.

Winter Squash Soup with Thyme or Real Gumbo with Okra and Chicken is sure to take the edge off the cold during the snowy months.

You have a veritable calendar full of soup's pleasures at your fingertips. Soups "from the sea," like Mediterranean Fish Stew and New York Red Clam Chowder, will leave a briny tingle on your palate. If it's legumes you crave, try one of the unbeatable bean soups: Lentil and Portobello Mushroom Soup, Miami Black Bean Soup, Lemony Chickpea and Escarole Soup.

{ Rating: 5.0 out of 5 } | Very good results so far. Just coming off a diet where I lost over 15 pounds. These recipes will really help me stay on track. The chicken broth is fantastic. The recipes are simple. The Lemony chickpea soup is delicious. Skip the Fava Bean and Chard. Boring. I'm looking forward to using this book often this winter. |

{ Rating: 5.0 out of 5 } | OPRAH, DR. OZ ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?!!!! What we need is for Oprah and Dr. Oz to develop a series of new programs featuring our Dr. John McDougall with some of his colleagues to add credibility heft for those who would try to pooh-pooh just one knowledgable professional's proof-filled findings. After years of living this program with a high degree of success, I often wonder when Dr. Oz will push to have the real answers brought to the public via Oprah's show.
Surely, he is aware of Drs. John McDougall, Neal Barnard, Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, Joel Fuhrman and the many other physicians and Phd. degreed researchers who have better results from their findings...than the YOU programs he and Dr. Michael Roisen have developed. He is so popular now that he endorses many, many authors who aren't any where near as effective as Dr. McD.
Come on Oprah...take Dr. McDougall to Oz!!! |
