Barry Sears, autor del libro sobre salud y alimentación más significativo de los últimos años, La revolucionaria dieta de la zona, vuelve con un nuevo título, Grasas tóxicas, de contenido aún más impactante: todo lo que se nos habia dicho hasta ahora sobre la obesidad podria estar equivocado. El doctor Sears, gran experto mundial sobre los efectos de la dieta en el organismo, afirma que la obesidad no se debe al exceso calorico sino a una predisposicion genetica. Dicha tendencia, combinada con ciertos habitos alimenticios exceso de carbohidratos, aceites vegetales de baja calidad y escasa ingesta de pescado azul- provoca la acumulacion de grasa toxica en el organismo y el exceso de peso.

Amen, M.D., founder, Amen Clinics, Inc., and bestselling author of Change Your Brain, Change Your LifeThe Mediterranean Zone is very readable for the layman, but it also contains some significant new science, particularly in the appendix, for those who really want to learn about the biochemistry of omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and epigenetics. Dr. Sears has clarified many aspects for me regarding the resolution of inflammation. His discussion of eicosanoids and gene transcription factors remains the best I have read. Finally, the dietary circle of anti-inflammatory nutrition is completed by his superb discussion of the value of polyphenols in any diet, and in particular an anti-inflammatory diet.
