\nIn his book \u201cThe Cure For Everything\u201d, Professor Tim Caulfield pokes so many holes in the current diet, fitness and well- being industry, you have to wonder if there is a cure for anything.\n<\/p>\n

\nTim empties his pockets at every turn as he tries to unravel what he calls twisted science.\n<\/p>\n

\nBut how do ordinary people know the difference between fact and fiction?\n<\/p>\n


\nPROFESSOR TIM CAULFIED: <\/b>That I think is incredibly difficult. But in the fitness industry it\u2019s sometimes even more so. Because you have these forces, let\u2019s identify Yoga as a really good example, that is a huge industry. It\u2019s a multi billion dollar industry. So these kinds of trends and these kinds of forces, they get legs. They get momentum because people are making money. Because they\u2019re selling a huge amount of clothes and they\u2019re selling lessons. This is a big (industry), so people have to be aware of those kind of forces everywhere, Not just with pharmaceuticals, but also in the context of alternative medicine, whether it\u2019s fitness products and fitness routines, that force is everywhere.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nTim Caulfield\u2019s book \u201cThe Cure for Everything\u201d does offer some tried and true advice for healthy living.\n<\/p>\n
