Synopses

Spoon-Fed

Professor Tim Spector draws on his research to challenge myths about food. The book examines what it describes as a lack of good science behind many diet plans, official recommendations and miracle cures, and encourages a rethink of our relationship with food, for individual health and the future of the planet.

The Diet Myth

This book argues that the answers about health and weight loss are more surprising than commonly presented. It suggests the key does not lie in fad diets or the simple idea of “eat less, exercise more”, but in the microbes already inside us.
