|  | The Prostate Book by Stephen N. Rous
Prostate problems eventually affect nearly half of all American males: cancer of the prostate is all too common, and almost all men over fifty have some evidence of enlarged prostate, which causes urinary difficulty. Now, in a new edition of his best-selling book for lay readers, Dr. Stephen Rous draws on his forty years of clinical experience to give readers the best information available on how the prostate works, diseases that affect it, treatment choices for different conditions, and the recuperation process after surgery, including possible side effects. Dr. Rous explains how the essential PSA blood test an other tests are interpreted. He evaluates alternative-medicine options, different surgical treatments (including minimally invasive techniques), and cases where radiation can be helpful. For older men with prostate cancer, he discusses the age factor in decision making: how to decide with your doctor whether surgery, medical treatment, or watchful waiting is the best option.

 | The Carbohydrate Addict's Healthy Heart Program by Rachael Heller, Richard F. Heller
In this guide to restricting carbohydrates, the authors define carbohydrate addiction as a physical imbalance that leads to compelling hunger, craving, or desire for high-carbohydrate foods--an escalating, reoccurring need or drive for starches, snack foods, junk foods, or sweets. They argue that excessive carbohydrates stimulate the body to produce too much insulin. An overproduction of insulin, they feel, causes heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and excessive weight gain. This book teaches readers how to greatly reduce carbohydrates from their diets and provides several low-carbohydrate recipes, including Cauliflower & Ham Supreme, Classic Pork Roast, and Broiled Lamb Chops.
