"Syndrome X proactively lays out a nutritious, tasty, and simple diet plan to get us back to the basics of healthy nutrition."–Lendon H. Smith, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Feed Your Body Right
"Syndrome X is the best new book to help you understand the facts about nutrition, health, and aging. . . . It is full of new information and insights most readers have never had access to before. Everyone who values his or her health will want to read the book and then individualize the program to suit his or her needs–the authors have made this easier than ever to do."–Richard A. Kunin, M.D., author of Mega–Nutrition
What is Syndrome X? It′s a resistance to insulin–the hormone needed to burn food for energy–combined with high cholesterol or triglycerides, high blood pressure, or too much body fat. Syndrome X ages you prematurely and significantly increases your risk of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, eye disease, nervous system disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer′s, cancer, and other age–related diseases.
Syndrome X is the first book to tell you how to fight the epidemic disorder that is derailing the health of nearly a third of North Americans. It outlines a complete three–step program–including easy–to–follow diets, light physical activity, and readily available vitamins and nutritional supplements–that will safeguard you against developing Syndrome X or reverse it if you already have it.

Format:Paperback
Having found one or two articles about Syndrome X on the web I decided to go one step further and buy a book - this was the first one that came up and it looked good. I found it very comprehensive - the history, background and finer detail of Syndrome X were very well explained and it made me really motivated to try it out. I have to say I'm pretty delighted with the results I've seen with the changes in my body - and mind, over the last week or so. It hasn't been all that difficult to stick to. The book makes so much sense and it's really easy to follow. There are one or two comments I would make however - there are a few occasions when I get confused, it seems to say at one stage it's OK to have ceratin fruits on the reversal programme and at other times tells you to stear clear of it altogether, and there are several vegetables that are missing from the indices. Maybe this is because the book is focused on the USA. Also I don't think dairy products are discussed in enough detail, especially milk. Having said that, it was an enlightening book which I will continue to use as a refernce while I transform my body and continue to maintain it.

Syndrome X is High Cholesterol, Obesity, High Triglycerides, High Blood Pressure and the centerpiece: Insulin Resistance. The book provides the reasons for many people's poor heath and practical solutions to improve it greatly. It is also applicable to those who are already healthy and want to stay that way.
The authors clearly explain that Glucose is our biological gasoline and insulin is escorts the glucose from the blood into cells where it is burned as energy. As with the carburetor of a car, when this isn't working right, we are not going to be at our best!
Knowing what to eat is crucial in good health today. With our fast paced, fast food society this is no easy task. Syndrome X addresses the wide array of good foods, vitamins and nutrients to return to good health. It explains in layman's terms but never talks down to the reader about the benefits of eating right and the terrible effects of eating poorly.
Powerful topics include: The importance of diet, Glucose, the body's fuel and the secrets of living to age 100. Other subjects include, individualizing your Anti-X program, what to buy at supermarkets and more.
Vitamins C, D, E and more are explained in excellent detail. Minerals such as chromium, Zinc, Magnesium, are also addressed as well as nutrients such as antioxidants, good and bad fats and more.
The easy to understand explanations of how the body processes food and supplements is some of the best I have read. Overall Jack Challem, Dr Burton Berkson, and Melissa Diane Smith have done an exceptional job at providing a common sense guide to healthy living through good diet, vitamins and supplements!

Format:Paperback
I have purchased several copies of this book for friends and family who were interested when they saw me steadily losing weight without too much effort. The book is very straight forward to read and understand and makes complete sense, I have changed my eating habits and have not only lost my excess weight but feel so much healthier. I cannot recommend the book highly enough.
