Avery Hurt signs Bullet with Your Name on
It: What You'll Probably Die From and What You Can
Do About It
Everyone's
going to die; the only question is, how?
Soldiers refer to this certainty as "a bullet with
your name on it." For each person, though,
there can be many bullets -- and by knowing where
to look, and what actions to take, readers may be
able to dodge most of them. Consumers
looking for reliable medical advice face a barrage
of uncertain, often contradictory, and
occasionally deadly misinformation, with as many
prescriptions for better living as there are
lobbying groups and pharmaceutical companies.
Avery Hurt sifts through the chaff of current medical hype to focus on
the key health issues that everyone faces. She simplifies the
current research on risk factors for heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer's, and other conditions so that readers can make meaningful
decisions based on their own situations and lifestyles. Through
her by-the-numbers approach, readers can adopt preventative steps that
lessen their odds for contracting terminal illnesses.
