La Verdad Acerca del Aceite de Oliva Fotos: Black & White Prefacio Por Jim Henry PresidenteTexas Olive Ranch Director Ejecutivo Texas Olive Oil Council No es un libro de cocina. No hay recetas para cocinar al estilo mediterráneo. No hay recetas de pizza. Si algo se puede decir, es que este libro es una celebración de los beneficios que la humilde aceituna ofrece a sus usuarios, a aquellos que abrazan sus muchos colores y sabores, usándola tanto interna como externamente (comiéndola o frotándola sobre la piel o el pelo). Sus beneficios para la salud (sus propiedades antioxidantes y antinflamatorias) son legendarios y sus primeros usos pueden rastrearse hasta una época bastante anterior a Cristo.About the Author: In 1975, my husband, two little baby girls, and I were living in an apartment in Chicago's Hyde Park district. My husband had diabetes and asthma and I realized I didn't know very much about healthy food and the best way to feed my family. I'd always been a fairly decent student having graduated a few years earlier with a M.A. degree from Bradley University in clinical psychology so I started reading . . . then studying. The more I learned about food, the more I wanted to learn. I took more college level classes in biology and nutrition. Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is by far the single best nutritional ingredient for your body's health and well being -- both internally and externally. And it tastes good, too!
