Synopses

Identically Different

Professor Tim Spector outlines how recent genetic research and his own studies on epigenetics are reshaping ideas about genes, identity and evolution. He describes genes as changeable rather than fixed, and explains how such changes may be passed on to future generations.

Spoon-Fed

Drawing on his research, Professor Tim Spector challenges common myths about food. The book looks at the lack of robust science behind many diet plans, official recommendations and so-called miracle cures, and invites a rethink of our relationship with food in terms of personal health and the future of the planet.

The Diet Myth

This book argues that the route to health and weight loss is not found in fad diets or the simple idea of eating less and exercising more, but in the microbes already inside us. Using current science and his own research, Professor Tim Spector addresses misconceptions around fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients.
