Back to Basics: all the link from the book

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-basics-make-through-times/dp/146641152X

When I wrote my book, Back to basics, I quickly realised that I couldn't write everything people need but just the top things, the very basics, unless I had the YellowPages in mind.

So many topics can be studied more thoroughly by looking at the links I suggested in the book.

For those of you who asked (you know who you are) here are the links!

Happy reading,

Franz

If the bread you buy is quite sweet it may contain fructose, which, according to Robert H. Lustig, MD, “has increased coincidentally with the worldwide epidemics of obesity and metabolic syndrome.” (Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM)
