INTRODUCTION :
Below is a list of books on food, drugs, and supplements --- especially as they affect health and body weight.
Some quotes from the books are also presented --- quotes that really 'struck home' to me.
Many of these books document the ill effects of too much sugar-and-starch consumption (or drug consumption) on human health --- especially among humans who have an abundance of bad, manufactured food (and drugs) to choose from --- in particular, in the United States.
I ran across many of these books in 2004-2005 as I was trying to find something to add to my diet to turn my health around (pains in knees, failing vision, overweight, and other issues).
It turned out that what I really needed to do was remove something from my diet --- too much refined sugar --- and too much starch, mostly in the form of refined flour --- in pastry products.
It is my hope that this book list can be of help to others who are seeking a resolution to health problems.

Organization of this book-list page :
The book list (below) is in alphabetical order by last name of a lead (or first-named) author --- and then by publication date.
To give a flavor of each book, two or three notable quotes are presented for many of these books --- after a publishing date and publisher name.
There is also a web link or two or three --- for book or author or publisher --- for some of the books.
There are statements in many of these books that are questionable in terms of a definite positive impact on your health. But by selecting from each book, you can put together a program to achieve "powerful health".
I have found the basis of a powerful-health program in the title of one book (by Dr. Gott) and in the sub-title of another (by Michael Pollan).
NO (refined) SUGAR, NO (refined) FLOUR
EAT (real, non-manufactured) FOOD.
NOT TOO MUCH.
MOSTLY PLANTS.

AVOID DRUGS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
The third point comes from my own sad experiences with drugs --- prescribed by doctors without warnings on how to deal with serious side-effects, and used by doctors for the beneficial effects without taking precautions to help 'patients' avoid the damage that can be done, by mis-guided and mis-guiding health professionals or by the drugs themselves.
Those experiences were substantiated by issues raised in the 'Overdo$ed America' book by Dr. Abramson. See below.
