Vitamania
Author: Catherine Price
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698192214
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
“[An] absorbing and meticulously researched history of the beginnings and causes of our obsession with vitamins and nutrition.” —The New York Times Most of us know nothing about vitamins. What’s more, what we think we know is harming both our personal nutrition and our national health. By focusing on vitamins at the expense of everything else, we’ve become blind to the bigger picture: despite our belief that vitamins are an absolute good—and the more of them, the better—vitamins are actually small and surprisingly mysterious pieces of a much larger nutritional puzzle. In Vitamania, award-winning journalist Catherine Price offers a lucid and lively journey through our cherished yet misguided beliefs about vitamins, and reveals a straightforward, blessedly anxiety-free path to enjoyable eating and good health. When vitamins were discovered a mere century ago, they changed the destiny of the human species by preventing and curing many terrifying diseases. Yet it wasn’t long before vitamins spread from labs of scientists into the realm of food marketers and began to take on a life of their own. The era of “vitamania,” as one 1940s journalist called it, had begun. Though we’ve gained much from our embrace of vitamins, what we’ve lost is a crucial sense of perspective. By buying into a century of hype and advertising, we have accepted the false idea that particular dietary chemicals can be used as shortcuts to health—whether they be antioxidants or omega-3s or, yes, vitamins. And it’s our vitamin-inspired desire for effortless shortcuts that created today’s dietary supplement industry, a veritable Wild West of overpromising “miracle” substances that can be legally sold without any proof that they are effective or safe. Price’s travels to vitamin manufacturers and food laboratories and military testing kitchens—along with her deep dive into the history of nutritional science— provide a witty and dynamic narrative arc that binds Vitamania together. The result is a page-turning exploration of the history, science, hype, and future of nutrition. And her ultimate message is both inspiring and straightforward: given all that we don’t know about vitamins and nutrition, the best way to decide what to eat is to stop obsessing and simply embrace this uncertainty head-on. Praise for Vitamania: “Measured, funny, and fascinating. The only thing that Catherine Price is selling here is good reporting, engaging storytelling, and more than you thought you could possibly learn about vitamins. If you need vitamins to survive (you do), you should read this book.” —Scientific American

In 1965, James, a half-English, half-Irish boy, is taken by his mother on a visit home to her Irish village after years of alienation from her family.

At first traumatized, James finally resigns himself to living there, eventually becoming close to his uncle and his grandmother. His grandmother decides that James should become a priest, and he enters private school and then university to do so, only to lose his faith as he enters adulthood. Through it all, James is deeply embittered at his father’s apparent abandonment. Then, as a young man, he visits his father and discovers that the man has been writing and sending gifts all along and has even paid for James’ education. All of which his mother kept from him. Now furious at both parents, he must try and make sense of his life on his own terms. The story of Seamus (James) Wilberforce Young, is beautifully told, and speaks to the isolation and loss of so many children who find themselves in broken families and must struggle to find their way back to wholeness and hope.

Pages : 381
Book Description
You know, in life, we see things the way that we want to see them, perspective. There is no other way to live in my opinion. To know me is to know God, I am nothing without him. I am a gift unto this world, and will remain this way until he calls me home. We have options in life, choices, what are you going to do for your peace? Bipolar affected my life, I fought hard to get to where I am today. Looking back is always an option, however, evolution is the way, it is the key. I worked hard under a certain name practically my whole career. Life is about evolving, so I'm evolving into a different name. Some people might think that it is silly, I think that at some point in your life, you would want to step out of your reality of who you are and turn into something immaculate, something amazing, something great! especially if you are helping the people. Am I Super HERA? No, I could never be. All I can do, and all I can be is a realist, a woman with tact, character. A woman that is her own biggest threat. Yes, I have to deal with my own demons first before I can try to help others with theirs. What happened to me in life, well, nothing was funny about that, I just wanted to let the person know who hurt me. Yes, I have evolved, their is nothing anyone can say or do that can change that. The change has already happened, it is too late. See, turn around, smile for the picture. Listen, live your life like you want to live it. Do not just do what others want. Look at me, I lost my sanity behind it, now I'm back.
