Synopsis

Macrobiotics spearheaded the natural foods movement, organic farming, and alternative and complementary medicine. Since then, nearly every country in the world has introduced dietary guidelines and food pyramids or other graphics promoting whole grains, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, and other plant-based foods. This book summarizes the key medical studies, scientific reports, and case histories on diet and heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and other disorders leading to this nutritional axis shift. Unfortunately, because of its bias against alternative medicine and holistic health, Wikipedia does not fairly represent macrobiotics and many other integrative approaches. The contents of this book were submitted to Wikipedia but immediately rejected as fringe, although they summarized scores of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Hence, this book is being published and we are creating our own web site Makropedia.com as the Encyclopedia of Diet and Health.
