This revealing research covers various conditions that predominantly occur in men, and as well conditions that predominantly occur in women. Among the subjects covered are cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, the immune system, lung cancer as a consequence of smoking, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and infectious diseases. It gathers important information in the field of gender-based biology and clinical medicine, proving that a patient's sex is increasingly important in preventing illness, making an accurate diagnosis, and choosing safe and effective treatment of disease.

Tre persone su quattro, nei paesi ricchi, oggi muoiono prematuramente per malattie cardiache, ictus e cancro. L'ambiente in cui viviamo (definito "obesogeno" da FAO e OMSI) ci propaganda questi cibi come sani e indispensabili, e il loro contenuto di proteine, calcio, ferro e vitamine viene spacciato per insostituibile. La dieta ottimale per la salute, proposta in questo volume, è invece costituita da cereali, legumi, verdura e frutta, con limitazione dei grassi al 10-25% delle calorie totali. Questa dieta riduce al minimo il rischio di infarto del miocardio, obesità, ipertensione, diabete Tipo 2 e di alcuni tipi di cancro. Non esistono controindicazioni a tale dieta, se vitamine e minerali vengono assunti in quantità adeguate.
