I just ordered this on AbeBooks for $3.97 including shipping. I don't know how they can sell it so cheap, but I'm not one for looking a gift horse in the mouth.

This won't show up for a few weeks so it won't actually be my next book. Nor have I discussed it with my reading buddy, so I might be reading it solo. It looks interesting, though, and it was one of two books my cardiologist recommended after we spent a few minutes Tuesday discussing the pandemic and how it was mishandled. He says one of the reasons we get along well is that he shares my cynicism.

Say what? He thinks I'm a cynic???? I'm sure glad you guys don't see me that way!

He told me that he was one of the 32,000 doctors who signed the Barrington Declaration against lockdowns in October 2020.

Since we were also discussing longevity, he gave me a New England Journal of Medicine article titled, "Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health, Aging, and Disease." Since we next discussed life extensions and the "Vegan Tuesday" diet I've put myself on, he recommended a book by Dr. Gary Taubes. Unfortunately he didn't say which one and Taubes has written many. My guess, though, would be the 2020 book on ketogenesis since that's the process discussed in the New England Journal of Medicine article.

I may not read the second book, but the article is a good one that's not too hard to understand. If anyone here has an interest in this 8-page article, let me know and I'll scan it and send it to you. Hint: The benefits of partial fasting (2 days per week, or 16 hours per day) are widespread and almost immediate - not just for weight loss, but also for cancer, insulin sensitivity, memory, heart function, muscle growth, slowing the aging process and a host of other things.
