Summary: Hokey Pokey myth perpetuated
Comment: As someone who has lived and worked in the Hunza and Baltistan region of northern Pakistan for a decade, it is important to first debunk the myth that the Burushushki, Wakhi and Shina people of the Hunza region are blessed with the lives of Methusula. This was actually a myth which gained momentum when it was written up by Dr. Alexander Leaf, in the January 1973 issue of National Geographic magazine. There is absolutely no scientific validity to his claim....
People of the Hunza suffer from malnutrition and nutrition deficiencies just as much as any other remote mountain region in SE Asia. Although the predominantly Ismaeli faith (branch of Shi-ite muslims) are progressive and relatively better off than most of their neighbours in nearby regions, they will all tell any visitor, that their life expectancy is around 50 - 60 years, just like any other region of northern Pakistan.
With that said, there certainly is valuable information in Jay Milton Hoffman and John Westerdahl's book about nutrition, stress reduction that would benefit millions in our obese western societies.

Summary: Not enough depth
Comment: I was a little disappointed with this book. A fascinating people, however Dr. Hoffman's descriptions lacked depth, and did not go into the Hunzakut's lifestyle in any detail. A tale of the Hoffman's travels to Hunza was interesting, but not necessarily relevant to the title of the book; neither is Dr. Hoffman's own personal views on the human diet. However it is an interesting read, I am now looking for a book that can look at the Hunza people and their life habits in more detail.

Summary: This book was informative and changed my life.
Comment: I am just 15 years old. This book is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to become stress free and healthy. It explores vegetarianism and other awsome ways to enhance your health. You will not be disapointed after reading this.
