“Finally, a diet book that looks at the science of eating in an accurate fashion. Most diet books have little basis in proven physiology. Dr. Fuhrman’s book Eat to Live deals with why we gain weight, how to lose weight, and how to stay thin and healthy for life, and he backs it up with real scientific data. All the controversy ends after you read this book. It will be the final word in diet books and the one I recommend to my patients.”
—Thomas Davenport, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital
“Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live presents a compelling, scientific, practical approach to weight loss, health, and vitality that is a refreshing alternative to the plethora of popular but largely ineffective diets and weight-loss methods.

Medicine, University of Nevada School of Medicine

He has illustrated a comprehensive familiarity with the world’s scientific literature, weaving in his extensive clinical experience and insight that is a must read for every physician in America.

—Alexander Fine, M.D., Champlost Family Practice,

“This is a book about achieving optimal health and weight that the scientific community has been waiting for, the ‘gold standard’ via which all other diets can be judged. Dr. Fuhrman takes the latest scientific information from thousands of research studies and puts together the most effective and healthiest dietary approach possible. Everything else is just second-rate.”
—Jeffrey Gilbert, M.D., Medical Director,
Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York

University of Alabama Comprehensive Cancer Center

“To write a great and informative book on the cutting edge of health care, one that can really help people, it would take a pioneer doctor. Such is the nature of Eat to Live, whose author, Dr. Fuhrman, is a hundred years ahead of his time. Fortunate is the reader who happens to come across this book. He or she walks under a lucky star.”
—Roy A. Alterwein, M.D., Fort Lauderdale, Florida
“Simply a great piece of work. Dr. Fuhrman has painstakingly taken the time to wade through the ever-burgeoning mountain of evidence which proves that the American diet and many physician-supported fad diets are not only unhealthy but are a contributing if not direct cause of our enormous public cardiovascular and cancer problem. His references are excellent and exhaustive. As individuals and as a nation we cannot ignore this book.”
—Robert J. Warren, M.D., Fellow,
American College of Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery
