Kosher for Health

I read my way through the church library in Quebec City. The only book title which has remained with me all these years is "None of These Diseases." The author, S. I. McMillan, was an American pastor who took a prolonged leave of absence from his church to study the Old Testament health restrictions and their effect on the people who practice them. The title is based on the assurance which God gave the Children of Israel that "none of these diseases" would fall on them if they obeyed his laws. McMillan demonstrates statistically how the Jewish people have remained healthier than their neighbors, as long as they remained true to their traditional diet. They suffer far less from cancer and circulatory diseases. One point which I remember is the lower incidence of cervical cancer in women whose husbands are circumcised, although that is not related to diet. The book is no longer in print, but I found what appears to be a reworked version of it, entitled "None of These Diseases, The Bible's Health Secrets for the 21st Century" by S. I. McMillen and David E. Stern, 2000.
