What it is:

A book

Health benefits:

I think anyone would be hard pressed to read this book and not be motivated to make healthier choices in their diet.

How I use it:

As a cautionary tale for what can potentially happen when we adopt a diet that is out of alignment with our ancestral diet.  Foods not in alignment with our ancestral diet include refined, processed, genetically modified, heavily sprayed and fertilized food grown in nutrient deficient soil.

How I found it:

This book was required reading for my coursework to become a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) through the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA). 

Why I use it:

This book provides insight into the types of health problems that arose in cats when fed something other than their natural ancestral diet.  The following was observed: the inability to distinguish female cats from male cats based on physical characteristics, female cats taking on traditional male cat characteristics and vice versa, unusual interactions between same sex cats, and infertility.  Although not appropriate to extrapolate the results of these experiments directly to humans, it is hard not to ponder whether humans are affected similarly.  All I can say is that I will never again underestimate the degree to which an inappropriate diet can wreak havoc on health.
