Earl Mindell

A Man of the Bible in the World of Nutrition

Dr. Earl Mindell opens his book Food as Medicine with a quote from Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine: Let food be your medicine and your medicine by your food.

Dr Earl James Mindell has spent the last 30 years of his life researching nutrition, what it does for the body and how it repairs the body.

The scientist and doctor of Mindell's early days had serious doubts about his theories on nutrition. Now, every day you hear on the news about a breakthrough regarding how this vitamin or that mineral is imperative to health.

Pioneers in the nutritional field, like Earl Mindell and others, have dedicated years of research to prove the theories that the body not only needs vitamins and minerals for nutritional health, but that certain vitamins and other nutrients can reduce the risk and incidence of a myriad of health conditions.

Yesterday’s climate of skepticism is today’s, accepted truth.

Some of the food as medicine topics Mindell covers are well-accepted in the nutrition and medical communities, for example:

breast cancer may be prevented by eating cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and soy products;
cereal grains, citrus fruits and even parsley and licorice might protect against heart disease and stroke by preventing blood clots.

In Food as Medicine, Earl Mindell gives a succinct and fascinating account of the possible healing power of vitamins and minerals, from Vitamin A through Zinc, with a good list of the foods containing each of them.

Dr. Mindell's other books include:

With titles like those, it's no wonder that Mindell makes Boost Daily Vitamins list of top must-reads in the nutrition and health experts arena.
