Natural causes

Natural Causes: an epidemic of wellness, the certainty of dying and killing ourselves to live longer / Barbara Ehrenreich, read by Joyce Bean, 248 pgs.

What is successful aging? What can we do to prevent it?  Ehrenreich tackles wellness and health with her usual skeptical look at the proof that any of this does you any good.  Do we really need all these medical tests?  Is there any proof that eating a paleo diet or vegetarian diet or Mediterranean diet really extend your life? Is aging a disease?

Like other books by the author, she reveals that you can't believe everything you read, especially if you are reading a celebrity "life style" blog.

Excuse me while I go eat some chocolate.
