Read Me Before You Use the Reading List.

While I was looking for the relevant literatures to my writing, I kept their URLs in my file. Going back online at any time with the list of URLs was very convenient, when I needed to review the literatures. Thanks to the great invention of Internet and those people who spent so much time and efforts in making the literatures available online for research.

A list of reference at the end of a book is for the readers to find the interesting articles, books, and other writings for further reading. When online research was not available, the readers could not easily do so, even if that they wanted. Besides, how many readers were really interested in reading further? In early 2007, when I finished more than 50% of my writing, I felt that I was obliged to passing on all my interesting information to my readers..

During the months of January and February 2008, I worked day and night to organize a 100-plus-page reading list that includes the articles and their URLs, if available. My goodness! What a waste, if I place the list at the end of my book. 

I decided to place the reading list online to trim the book volume and its price. The interested reader can check article(s) on the list, and click on the article's URL to view the article. Of course, I cannot guarantee that every article's URL is available all the time. Hopefully, the publishers and organizations who placed their articles online will keep their article available online for more researchers and interested readers to use the articles in further research. A few dozens of articles in italic on the list are listed in more than one category for their cross reference.

I also listed the number of each article that I used for reference in my discussion, in the the last chapter of the book, Carbohydrates Can Kill. The numbers of the articles are the same on this reading list. Please use this list for your reference when you read the chapter. 

Finally, I hope you like this list. I urge you to let the publishers and organizations know of your appreciation for their generous contributions to public education by making their articles available online.
