The "Columbus Concept" suggests that human health doesn't suffer from too much fat in the diet, but rather from the wrong balance of them and therefore promotes greater consumption of omega-6/3 polyunsaturated fatty acids found in game and other "wild-type" foods. De Meester (president and CEO, Belovo S.A., Belgium) and Watson (health promotion sciences, U. of Arizona) present 39 scientific research papers relevant to this idea, covering the health benefits of essential nutrients found in the wild; evidence from populations with high omega-6/3 fatty acid diets; and dietary prevention of cancer, mental disease, macular degeneration, dental caries, and other conditions. They also discuss market issues in Western countries and the Cuban experience. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
