Dropping Acid offers a dietary cure for acid reflux, as well as lists of the best and worst foods for a reflux sufferer. The book’s recipes use tasty fats as flavorings, not as main ingredients; included are the recipes for tasty dishes that prove living with reflux doesn't mean living without delicious food.

*** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *** What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because many people don't know they are suffering from sky-high levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses. Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including: - Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in 'purines' that can raise uric acid. - Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee. - Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid. - Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise. - How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor's office during regular check-ups but typically ignored. Featuring the ground-breaking 'LUV' (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes and a 21 day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers readers with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner and healthier lives.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Uric acid is a compound that comes from only three sources: fructose, alcohol, and purines. It is strongly related to being overweight or obese, as well as the risk of cardiovascular problems and hypertension. #2 The laws of nature, such as the effects of gravity, the principles of time and space, and the importance of food and water to human survival, were established by ancient philosophers. But you probably haven’t heard of the nineteenth-century doctor from Scotland named Alexander Haig, who linked a surfeit of uric acid to hypertension. #3 Purines are natural organic substances found in the body that serve important functions. They are part of a family of nitrogen-containing molecules known as nitrogenous bases, and they help build certain nucleotide base pairs in both DNA and RNA. #4 The Framingham Heart Study, which is one of the most respected studies ever done in America, found that elevated uric acid levels did not cause heart disease, but high blood pressure did. This led Dr. Rick Johnson to conduct a series of studies that showed that elevated uric acid levels in rats caused high blood pressure in two ways.
