...devastating a health problem as it is, surprisingly little attention is paid to obesity. The only public discussion of health issues usually revolves around smoking. Turn on the television and you find news programs that talk about evil tobacco companies and how unhealthy it is to smoke. The media is ceaseless in its condemnation of smoking, and it’s become so politically incorrect that it is almost impossible to do—being banned in practically all public areas from office buildings to bars.

VITAMINS C AND E: Could strawberries and nuts prevent a stroke? Maybe. People who smoke have an increased risk of stroke, but diets high in vitamins C and E were found to cut the risk by 70% and 20%, respectively. In a separate study, the same vitamins, given to children with abnormally high cholesterol, led to improved blood-vessel function. A third study, of more than 6,700 people, showed that the higher the level of vitamin C in the blood, the less likely a person would be infected by Helicobacter pylori, a microbe that can cause peptic ulcers...
