Book excerpt: Sugar! Saturated Fat! Salt! Oh My! What if everything you thought you knew about food turned out to be wrong? Sugar, salt, saturated fat...these so-called demons of the food world may not be so sinister after all, and the supposed "proof" that these tasty foods are harmful rests on some very fragile ground. Does sugar really cause cancer? Doesn't saturated fat cause heart disease? If you cut out salt, won't you lower your blood pressure and therefore be healthier? The answers to these common questions are guaranteed to surprise you and have you questioning everything you thought you knew about food. Milk Really Does Do a Body Good Does milk cause osteoporosis by leaching minerals from your bones? Is casein bad? Can you really be addicted to cheese? These popular myths about dairy have led many to give up all milk products, but it may be for no good reason at all. As it turns out, the anti-animal protein groups don't have a leg to stand on. The oft-cited China Study has some serious flaws that the vegans and "plant-based" dieters don't want you to know about. Does animal protein really cause cancer? This is just one of the dragons slain in Food Myths. What Would You Eat Without All the Rules? You've probably been guiding your food choices for years based on things you thought were true. There were "good" foods that you made sure to eat lots of and "bad" foods you avoided at all costs, even when you had intense cravings. So how do you know what to eat without all the rules? Food Myths gives you one new rule to replace all the others. You'll be amazed at how simple-and pleasurable-eating can be when you finally learn the truth. Bust through the myths and find your food freedom! You can eat foods you love and still be healthy doing so, and Food Myths will show you how.

Book excerpt: Even though we have access to more medical and health information than ever before, food and nutrition continually faces the challenge of misinformation and misconceptions. Do vegetarians live longer? Are thin people healthier than fat ones? Is sugar our enemy? Wht's better, butter or margarine? Do adults need to drink milk? Is sea salt better for you than regular salt? Does detoxing clear your body out? Are foods labelled as 'natural' healthier for you? These are just some of the thoughts we tackle in this carefully researched, practical guide to food myths. This book goes behind food labeling and packaging to present the facts in language everyone can understand.

Book excerpt: THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE LEADING GUT-HEALTH EXPERT, FOUNDER OF ZOE AND AUTHOR OR FOOD FOR LIFE * As seen on ITV's LORRAINE and heard on THE DIARY OF A CEO * This ground-breaking exploration debunks food myths, from what we should be eating for breakfast to whether we should really avoid ultra-processed foods. Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Is there any point in counting calories? Is there any evidence that coffee is bad for us? Through his pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector busts these and many other myths about food. Spoon-Fed explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many diet plans, official recommendations, miracle cures and ultra-processed foods, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food - not just for our health as individuals, but for the future of the planet.

Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the five-second rule legitimate? Are electric hand dryers really bacteria blowers? Am I spraying germs everywhere when I blow on my birthday cake? How gross is backwash? When it comes to food safety and germs, there are as many common questions as there are misconceptions. And yet there has never been a book that clearly examines the science behind these important issues—until now. In Did You Just Eat That? food scientists Paul Dawson and Brian Sheldon take readers into the lab to show, for example, how they determine the amount of bacteria that gets transferred by sharing utensils or how many microbes live on restaurant menus. The authors list their materials and methods (in case you want to replicate the experiments), guide us through their results, and offer in-depth explanations of good hygiene and microbiology. Written with candid humor and richly illustrated, this fascinating book will reveal surprising answers to the most frequently debated—and also the weirdest—questions about food and germs, sure to satisfy anyone who has ever wondered: should I really eat that?

Book excerpt: Fully updated throughout and with a new foreword for this edition. Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.

Book excerpt: 'A must-read ... satisfying, rich ... loaded with flavour' Sunday Telegraph This book is a celebration of food. By food, Michael Pollan means real, proper, simple food - not the kind that comes in a packet, or has lists of unpronounceable ingredients, or that makes nutritional claims about how healthy it is. More like the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize. In Defence of Food is a simple invitation to junk the science, ditch the diet and instead rediscover the joys of eating well. By following a few pieces of advice (Eat at a table - a desk doesn't count. Don't buy food where you'd buy your petrol!), you will enrich your life and your palate, and enlarge your sense of what it means to be healthy and happy. It's time to fall in love with food again. For the past twenty years, Michael Pollan has been writing about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture, gardens, drugs, and architecture. His most recent book, about the ethics and ecology of eating, is The Omnivore's Dilemma, named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. He is also the author of The Botany of Desire, A Place of My Own and Second Nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many nutrition science and food production myths and misconceptions dominate the health and fitness field, and many athletes and active consumers unknowingly embrace a myriad of what can be deemed “junk science” which has now infiltrated many related science fields. Consumers simply have no reliable source to help them navigate through all the hype and fabrication, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. The aim of The Myths About Nutrition Science is, then, to address the quagmire of misinformation which is so pervasive in this area. This will enable the reader to make more objective, science-based lifestyle choices, as well as physical training or developmental decisions. The book also enables the reader to develop the necessary critical thinking skills to better evaluate the reliability of the purported “science” as reported in the media and health-related magazines or publications. The Myths About Nutrition Science provides an authoritative yet readily understandable overview of the common misunderstandings that are commonplace within consumer and athlete communities regarding the food production process and nutrition science, which may affect their physical development, performance, and long-term health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this controversial examination exposes the destructive history of agricultureâ "causing the devastation of prairies and forests, driving countless species extinct, altering the climate, and destroying the topsoilâ "and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come from within living communities. In order for this to happen, the argument champions eating locally and sustainably and encourages those with the resources to grow their own food. Further examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of both human and environmental health, the account goes beyond health choices and discusses potential moral issues from eatingâ "or not eatingâ "animals. Through the deeply personal narrative of someone who practiced veganism for 20 years, this unique exploration also discusses alternatives to industrial farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why animals belong on ecologically sound farms.
