Reuben is also the author of _Everything You Always Wanted  to  Know  about
Sex  (but  were  afraid  to  ask)_.  I read it and several reviews of it by
medical experts.  The book  is  crammed  with  misinformation,  old  wives'
tales,  and  general  apocrypha,  some  of  it  outright dangerous, and all
presented as fact.

I haven't read his nutrition book, but, given his track record, I  wouldn't
take his word as authoritative on _any_ subject.
