Robert A Rosati, MD, co-author of the New York Times bestseller, The Rice Diet Solution"John McDougall, M.D. has once again produced an outstanding book with recommendations gleaned from his decades of medical experience and strongly supported by the scientific literature. He has the courage to tell the truth about both the business of medicine, which largely ignores the role of diet , and the forces of evil that sell the promises of fractionated foods and diet fads. The information in this book can provide the reader the power needed to lose weight and regain health."

Alan Goldhamer, Director, TrueNorth Health Center, Co-author of The Pleasure Trap"The Starch Solution is one of the most important books ever written on healthy eating. As Dr. McDougall shows us in his book, human beings flourish on starch foods from whole food sources. When combined with healthy servings of vegetables and fruits we have the perfect diet to prevent and reverse the lifestyle diseases that are now killing 80% of Americans—obesity, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and cancer. The recipes included in the book are easy and delicious. The Starch Solution will change your life. Read it and live it." –
John P. Mackey, co-chief Executive Officer and Director, Whole Foods Market, Inc."This time the Star McDougaller is John himself joining with Mary in creating a masterfully crafted nutrition guide that destroys harmful myths and enhances the enduring capacity of whole food plant based nutrition as the foundation to our long overdue health revolution." –
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease"Eat all you want; any time you want". Statements that sound too good to be true usually are... too good to be true. But John McDougall's new book "The Starch Solution", richly referenced for science, but gracefully written for consumers, just might be both good and true." –

Jeff Novick, Vice President for Executive Health Exams International and lectures at the McDougall Program"The option is pretty simple. Meat and potatoes and later angioplasty and bypass or a plant-based (starch diet) and medicine-less and procedure-less health and happiness. The 12th McDougall book shows the way. It is highly recommended."
–William C. Roberts, MD, Editor in chief, The American Journal of Cardiology, Executive Director, Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas
"[Dr. McDougall's] new book stands to get him more attention than any of the others. Much of what’s in The Starch Solution, which came out earlier this year, is excellently researched, scientifically-backed…and totally contradictory to what most Americans think they know about food and weight loss."
