Few people have 'old age' as a cause of death on their death certificate. Today, we die of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, diabetes - And we accept these conditions as normal causes of death.They aren't - and neither is the ill-health, pain and discomfort that make our later years a misery.
In this controversial, evidence-based account of how and why the health-care establishment has got the concept of 'healthy eating' so wrong, Barry Groves shows us how to take charge of our own health and lives, in contravention of what the health-care industry would have us believe and do.

- Read this book cover to cover and if you're not thoroughly scared to death there is something wrong with you. Barry Groves has officially written the Bible on health. Trick and Treat should be required reading by everyone who eats. Absolutely brilliant! The chapter on polyunsaturated fats has made a huge impact in our home. If you are not convinced by the last page that you should be eating anything but meat, eggs, cheese and butter, then stick with the carbs and see what health issues will happen. Buy and it spread the low carb gospel.
- I found this book fascinating. For many years, I suspected a lot of misinformation--whether deliberate or by ignorance--was being handed out to people. I researched out the information for myself and read most of the other articles that Mr. Groves referenced. That said, I've found his information to be spot on.
So, how has this information benefited me? I have had excellent results with following his suggested dietary intake. In a matter of a little over 5 weeks, I have gone from barely able to walk because of incessant joint pains and myalgias. I huffed and puffed my way through life. I was unable to breathe without extreme chest tightness and heart palpitations and feeling as if I was going to keel over at any moment. My skin was so very dry that it felt prickly and itched incessantly so much so that I had to take antihistamines all the time and slather myself with expensive lotions. My lower legs and feet were perpetually swollen so much so that I had great fears that I would lose my feet to amputations. They were swollen, red, and it was very difficult to walk and felt as if the skin would split if I stood on my feet. At times, the toes on both feet would be a ghastly bluish-black color and ice cold. I thought I was dying from the toes upward. Geezum, it felt as if I had severe arthritis in the arches of my feet. I was literally housebound. Going out into the sun brought severe pain when the sunlight shone on the skin, and by golly, I'd break out in hives. My life, or lack thereof, was miserable. I contemplated the ultimate solution regularly. I longed for death to bring me some peace.
It has now been a little over 5 weeks since I've drastically changed my eating habits. I no longer follow the prescribed "healthy diet." I've lost a little over 24 pounds without even trying. My energy has come back, and the sun no longer makes my skin feel like it's being attacked. My feet, ankles, and lower legs are no longer swollen; in fact, I marveled just tonight over how thin the ankles looked and how pink and healthy the feet are looking. My skin is improving. I no longer itch incessantly, and I no longer use lotions. I can breathe easily without wheezing, and I no longer have to use inhalers (rescue or steroids)--with my doctor's blessings. I no longer crave sugary things or carbohydrates in general. My cholesterol and triglycerides have normalized as well, and my blood pressure has dropped 45 points on the systolic pressure. I haven't felt this good in decades. Life is definitely now worth living, and I no longer pine for death to take me just to get rid of the chronically-ill feeling. For the first time in over a decade, my skin is rosy and my eyes are bright.
When I first read the reviews for this book, I sort of pooh-pooed them. But then, I figured that if I could garner just one piece of information that would help me and make me feel better, then the price of the book could be justified. I am Disabled because of the chronic illnesses and am on a fixed income. Those chronic illnesses are miraculously going away.
Life is good again. This is a sensible book, folks, and touts dietary eating habits that are easy to follow. I figured that it would cost me a great deal more money in groceries; however, I find that I am eating much less and am eating very high-quality foods and that my grocery bills are much less than before.
I figured it this way This book costs about as much as a copay for a trip to the doctor. What if the information in this book would drastically reduce the number of doctor visits and make me feel better as well? This is indeed what it has done for me.
What do you have to lose? For me, I lost feeling miserable and quite sick all the time, 24/7. If you buy this book and follow the information, the only thing you will lose is that sick feeling. For me, it's been a God-send. (Psalm 150.) - I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Barry Groves has done on exposing our various nutritional mythologies using information and research primarily from major medical journals but also historical information, basic biochemistry, and common sense. It is well written and easy to read while covering an immense amount of material. Even if it does not convince you of what the author believes constitutes truly healthy eating (although that's hard to imagine!) it should at the very least convince you that what you've been taught is a 'healthy diet' must be thoroughly questioned! It might also galvanize you to spread the word in an effort to help change what doctors and governments consider good nutrition and helpful strategies for preventing and combatting illnesses. Barry Groves makes a powerful argument that we cannot afford the direction in which we are going with our health care systems -- people are getting sicker and costs are skyrocketing.
- The majority of people in the U.S. are ok with being brainwashed, or at least lack the energy and motivation to alter their habits. This resource gets to the foundation of what we are taught and why and shows that the reason we are so sick as a society is because it is very profitable to certain industries. These industries use their wealth, power, and recognizability to perpetuate false information through advertising and bureacratic ties. They also know that most people do not have the time, energy, and other resources necessary to investigate personal health. The end result if you do not investigate health on your own is sickness, disease and pain. If you seek to avoid this fate, Barry Groves and the Weston A. Price association, where he is an honorary board member (I believe this means he is UNPAID) are great resources to explore. Trick and Treat is rather comprehensive as the title may not suggest. Great resource. Thank you for your deep research and effort, Barry.
- I have read other books on high fat/protein low carbohydrates way of eating. The other books gave reasons for eating in this way related to our anthropological past. Our genes have not changed over thousands of years and our ancestors ate a meat diet. This book gave me more information and insite into this method of eating. It provided an astounding number of diseases and maladies all related to eating a late 20th century developed "healthy diet" of low fat/high carbohydrates. This should be a must read for anyone on the fence whether to dump the carbs or stick with current conventional wisdom. I believe we should all dump the carbs, especially now with the health care debate raging. Barry does a great job explaining way we need to lower our carbohydrate consumption in an easy to understand and example loaded way.
- This is a great book for what's gone wrong with nutrition, and how it got this way. Many references are American, but there's good correlation with research and information from Britain which was heretofore unknown to me. Great reading for those courageous enough to look outside our neat little dietary boxes.
