The information in this book falls heavily into the Why-hasn't-my-doctor-mentioned-this catagory. Magnesium deficiency is widespread and magnesium is vital to chemical interactions. This book goes in depth about how magnesium is related to heart disease, cholesterol, metabolic symptom X and diabetes. The case it makes for the importance of magnesium's role in heart health is overwhelming in my opinion. It touches lightly on other things like chronic fatigue syndrome. It also provides guidance on how to figure out how much supplement might be beneficial.
One of the things that noticed repeatedly and appreciated immensely is that the authors acknowledge how HARD it is to change your lifestyle. Too often doctors act like you're just supposed to change everything because they say so. Then they act like you're an imbecile if you don't. They never acknowledge how hard it is to make these kind of changes. These authors stress repeatedly that they understand that. That attitude makes me much more receptive to what they have to say. If you're interested in your health, this a great book.

magnesium deficiency is pretty common and may be at the root of a lot of modern health issues. However, magnesium deficiency is not the only one most people face. Regardless, this book covers the spectrum of disorders that manifest during magnesium deficiency.
