un immense intérêt tant au Canada qu'en Europe. Son blogue est rapidement inondé de témoignages et commentaires soulignant les bienfaits de la diète hypotoxique, pointant aussi les difficultés rencontrées. Infatigable chercheuse, Jacqueline Lagacé s'attelle aussitôt à la tâche, soucieuse d'apporter des réponses précises aux 1001 questions soulevées et de faire état des avancées de la recherche scientifique en ce domaine. L'ouvrage Une alimentation ciblée pour préserver ou retrouver la santé de l'intestin est le fruit de ce travail. L'auteure y vulgarise les connaissances scientifiques les plus récentes concernant les liens entre les aliments consommés et les maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Elle indique comment et pourquoi les choix alimentaires sont en très grande partie responsables de l'équilibre ou du déséquilibre fonctionnel de l'intestin et, conséquemment, de la santé globale. Elle explicite aussi l'impact de la diète hypotoxique sur les maladies chroniques. Enfin, elle apporte un éclairage précieux sur des sujets controversés, comme la prise de suppléments de calcium, de vitamine D, d'oméga 3, la fiabilité des tests de détection des intolérances alimentaires, etc. La réussite de la diète hypotoxique passe par une alimentation ciblée et cet ouvrage est l'outil indispensable pour y parvenir. 2016.Ultimate foods for ultimate health.. and don't forget the chocolate!: And Don't Forget The Chocolate!

used to deride as “nerds” or “geeks” have ridden their popularity and visibility to mainstream recognition. Yet these conventionalized representations of geek culture typically ignore the real people who have invested time and resources to make it what it is. Woo recentres our understanding of geek culture on the everyday lives of its participants, drawing on fieldwork in comic book shops, game stores, and conventions. He shows how geek culture is a set of interconnected social practices that are associated with popular media and argues that typical depictions of mass-mediated entertainment as something that isolates and pacifies its audiences are flawed because they do not account for the conversations, relationships, communities, and identities that are created by engaging with the products of mass culture. 2018.

sa surconsommation généralisée? Est-il à l'origine de l'alarmante pandémie d'obésité et de diabète, et des nombreuses maladies associées? Le sucre serait-il, en un mot, un poison à bannir absolument, ou cette substance inoffensive que défend et promeut habilement l'industrie agroalimentaire? La vérité, comme toujours, est complexe, et les déclarations à l'emporte-pièce ne font que l'embrouiller. Ainsi, on sait qu'il n'y a pas un, mais des sucres. Ceux que contiennent naturellement les aliments. Ceux qu'on ajoute, massivement, aux produits préparés. 2016.Voyage au pays des Mi'gmaq ((Voyage au pays des--).)
