El Dr. Agatston es un destacado cardiologo que ha hecho muchas aportaciones, pero la dieta South Beach bien podria ser la mejor de todas. Que conste que no se trata de otro 'libro de dieta mas.' Se trata de un libro acerca de la salud y el bienestar.--Dr. Randolph P. Martin, el Hospital de la Universidad Emory en Atlanta
