Food is our most powerful health ally, yet deciding what to eat has never been more difficult. Tim Spector has pioneered a science-based approach to nutrition, encouraging us to abandon erroneous ideas about calorie counts and nutritional breakdowns. He draws on almost a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, as well as his own personal views, to present a new and complete guide to what we should all know about food today in Food for Life. Spector examines everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and false labelling with a wide-angle lens, as well as the many beautiful and surprising qualities of everyday foods that scientists are only now beginning to comprehend.
