Also just finished reading "The China Study" <<< This book is incredible for those who want to build their health, defeat diabetes, cancer etc.

The book is even more intense in some of the graphic nature though, and its written in the vernacular of the times which makes me stumble on some of the expressions but I find it a very convincing accounted of a topic I have been educating myself about since I was 11....

Never reading another book, unless by force, till I finish the English standard Holy Bible n the Holy Qur'an....

Hey, I can relate...
If I had of stayed in school n had faith n not lied to my parents n been mischievous my whole adolescence I could of ended up in milk n honey too instead of this backward hillbillies ville joint I've ended up in....
