GOOD FOOD, MILK FREE, GRAIN FREE by Hilda Cherry Hills

Grains and milk are staple throughout the world, regarded by many as nearly perfect foods, and the basis of traditional dishes in nearly every country. Yet, for reasons that are only beginning to be understand, both can be disastrous to the physical and metal health of many of those who eat them, resulting in the wasting “ celiac disease” and even promising the terrifying mental illness, schizophrenia.

Medical research has shown that excluding all grain and milk products from the diet has time and again ameliorated the symptoms of schizphrenia and offered hope for its control and cure. Hilda Cherry Hills, whose classic work on the gluten- free diet has benefited thousands of celiacdisease sufferers, has prepared a comprehensive program of grain- and milk- free nutrition, including:

‧A complete list of forbidden and restricted foods
‧Ways to keep the diet while eating out or travelling
‧20 substitutes for dairy products, from refreshing drinks to tasty desserts
‧Recommended nutritional supplements
‧More than 300 recipes for delicious dishes without milk or grain- with a special section for vegetarians

However vital it may be, dropping two of the most familiar foods from your diet is a drastic stop yet, as this book makes abundantly clear, it can be done without undue effort or expensive, or even the sacrifice of the pleasures of eating well.
