*If dying is a certainty, dying early is almost always a choice. 


*This is the thread running through Michael Greger’s How Not To Die. Backed up by a catalogue of studies, Greger compellingly demonstrates how we can prevent, treat and even reverse our most common chronic diseases. 


*The subtitle is Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease. 


*Greger argues that to avoid the fifteen leading causes of death and disease in the developed world, all it takes is one simple, if sometimes challenging, dietary change: a whole-food, plant-based diet.
