"The presentation is consistently excellent. One, the writing is lucid and organized in a way that should be very natural for the clinical reader. Two, the text requires no background in mathematics and uses a minimum of symbols. And, three, the methodological concepts and clinical issues are well integrated through a number of carefully prepared and comprehensive examples." Greg Samsa, Associate Director, Duke Center for Clinical Health Policy Research If a patient is older or younger than, sicker or healthier than, taller or shorter than or simply different from the subjects of a study, do the results pertain? Clinical Epidemiology & Evidence-based Medicine is a resource for all health-care workers involved in applying evidence to the care of their patients. Using clinical examples and citing liberally from the peer-reviewed literature, the book shows how statistical principles can improve medical decisions. Plus, as Katz shows how probability, risk and alternatives are fundamental considerations in all clinical decisions, he demonstrates the intuitive basis for using clinical epidemiolgy as a science underlying medical decisions. After reading this text, the practitioner should be better able to access, interpret, and apply evidence to patient care as well as better understand and control the process of medical decision making.

Dos de los expertos más prestigiosos en salud y nutrición responden a las preguntas más actuales sobre alimentación y dietas, en una obra que transformará nuestra salud. ¿Cuál es la «mejor» dieta? ¿Importan las calorías? ¿Tengo que elegir entre bajo en grasas y bajo en carbohidratos? ¿Debo renunciar al gluten, los lácteos o la carne? Y cuando se trata de proteínas, grasas y carbohidratos, ¿cuáles son buenos y cuáles malos? Mark Bittman y el Dr. David Katz se abren paso entre la gran confusión existente en la información que rodea la comida, la salud y la dieta para arrojar un poco de luz y dar las respuestas que realmente necesitamos. Inspirados en su sección de gran éxito de preguntas y respuestas de la revista New York, y ofrecen un punto de vista claro y sin rodeos sobre la alimentación y la dieta abarcándolo todo, desde los nutrientes básicos hasta los súper alimentos o las dietas milagro, a la vez que desmitifican gran cantidad de afirmaciones confusas o contradictorias. Así, abordan temas como los patrones dietéticos (¿qué debe comer el ser humano?); los cereales (¿son solo carbohidratos? ¿debemos evitar el gluten?); la carne y los productos lácteos (¿es importante que los productos sean ecológicos?); el alcohol (¿es bueno beber vino?), o ¿por qué me apetecen los alimentos salados?, ¿qué es mejor, un refresco light o normal?, ¿es verdad que el desayuno es la comida más importante del día? o ¿qué es el microbioma? A lo largo de todo el libro, los autores filtran la ciencia de la nutrición a través de la lente del sentido común y, desde la más estricta evidencia científica, ofrecen sencillos consejos y, sobre todo, respuestas veraces, claras y definitivas.
