Book Description
Since his New York Times op-ed column debuted in 2011, Mark Bittman has emerged as one of our most impassioned and opinionated observers of the food landscape. The Times’ only dedicated opinion columnist covering the food beat, Bittman routinely makes readers think twice about how the food we eat is produced, distributed, and cooked, and shines a bright light on the profound impact that diet—both good and bad—can have on our health and that of the planet. In A Bone to Pick, Mark’s most memorable and thought-provoking columns are compiled into a single volume for the first time. As abundant and safe as the American food supply appears to be, the state of our health reveals the presence of staggering deficiencies in both the system that produces food and the forces that regulate it. Bittman leaves no issue unexamined; agricultural practices, government legislation, fad diets, and corporate greed all come under scrutiny and show that the issues governing what ends up in our market basket and on our tables are both complex and often deliberately confusing. Unabashedly opinionated and invariably thought provoking, Bittman’s columns have helped readers decipher arcane policy, unpack scientific studies, and deflate affronts to common sense when it comes to determining what “eating well” truly means. As urgent as the situation is, Mark contends that we can be optimistic about the future of our food and its impact on our health, as slow-food movements, better school-lunch programs, and even “healthy fast food” become part of the norm. At once inspiring, enraging, and enlightening, A Bone to Pick is an essential resource for every reader eager to understand not only the complexities inherent in the American food system, but also the many opportunities that exist to improve it.

Book Description
Abstract: Various aspects of salt ingestion are discussed in an authoritative reference text (27 chapters) for clinical nutritionists, dietitians, health anthropologists, and other health professionals. Topics include: the relevance of sodium (Na) in body fluids; Na deficiency and salt appetite; hominoid evolution and historical aspects of salt; and specific effects of Na deficiency (physiologic effects; salt taste and response; water depletion; rapid systemic correction of Na deficiency; and endocrine effects of rapid satiation of salt appetite). The discussion of factors which influence salt appetite covers: plasma volume change, hepatic Na receptors, the renin-angiotensin system and experimental hypertension, and salt-appetite during reproduction. Clinical studies are cited and theories on the genesis and satiation of salt appetite are reviewed. Related topics which are discussed include the stimulating effect of steroids on salt appetite; electrical stimulation; the appetite for phosphate, calcium, magnesium, and potassium; and salt intake and high blood pressure.
