On Amazon.com I posted a review for Voegtlin's Stone Age Diet (finally got
a copy from an upstate university) -- my review is basically a plea for
Voegtlin's family to reprint his excellent book. Amazon.com gives you book
suggestions and this one came up for me this morning:  "Metabolic Man:
10,000 Years From Eden: The Long Search For a Personal Nutrition From Our
Forest Origins to the Supermarkets of Today" Here's the book description
from Amazon.com.  Looks interesting -- anyone read it or heard anything
about it?

Product Description:
Metabolic Man: Ten Thousand Years from Eden describes man's journey from a
harmonious co-existence with nature to today's state of nutritional
disorder following the agricultural revolution. Leaving Eden and moving
into civilization, man has failed to live by nature's laws and throughout
the last 10,000 years has paid the price with disease, maladaption and
premature death.
The author's perspective of the history of man, his state of health, and
the ecological devastation to the planet during the last ten thousand years
allows the reader to clearly see where man fits into a downward spiral of
ill health and degradation of quality of life.

Extensively documented, Metabolic Man provides the reader with a path to
individualizing a personal nutrition tailored to his or her metabolic
profile. Metabolic Man clears the mine field of processed food and
advertising ploys that are in fact destructive to good health by helping
the grocery shopper become a "hunter/gatherer" for specific metabolic body
types in the supermarkets of today. AUTHORBIO: Alarmed at the deteriorating
health of society in the "advantaged" nations, Charles Heizer Wharton,
Ph.D. has devoted much of his time since his retirement in the early 80's
to the subject of human nutrition. It is his fervent hope that through
understanding their individual heritage and lifestyle, fellow humans can
not only improve their own lives, but can help mitigate earth's problems in
accommodating an exploding population. Currently he is Affiliate Faculty at
the University of Georgia's Institute of Ecology.

The author's consuming interest in nutrition began in 1947, with the care
and feeding of rare animals from the Philippines, (Published in National
Geographic Magazine) and academically, by a course in nutrition at Cornell.
He has Worked with native peoples in such diverse places as the Paraguayan
Chaco and Sabah, Borneo. His first expedition to Cambodia was highlighted
in the TV series, Investigative Reports (A&E). The National Academy of
Sciences sponsored his second trip to Southeast Asia. His interest in early
man was whetted by visits with the Leakeys and trips to Africa's Olduvai
Gorge and Masai Mara.
