How Not to Die
Michael Greger's nutrition case against the leading causes of death
Dense and heavily cited, organized around the top causes of death and what the nutrition literature says about each, it argues for a whole-food plant-based diet. One-sided by design, and it reads like a legal brief. Widely recommended in the plant-based corner of this directory and widely disputed outside it.
