'Cut through the food confusion with this brilliant book by one of the world's top nutrition scientists.' - Tim Spector
When did what we eat get so complicated?
Diet is one of the most powerful tools we have for preventing disease, yet the advice we're given is often overwhelming and contradictory. Christopher Gardner, Director of Nutrition Studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has spent over twenty years researching what a good diet really looks like. In Food Sense, he shows you:
· What the science agrees on: The foundations that scientists, doctors and dietitians overwhelmingly share.
· Ending the food fights: A fresh take on nutrition's most heated debates. From fad diets to protein, ultra-processed foods, seed oils, cholesterol, plant-based milks, meats, sugar and the microbiome.
· Practical, simple takeaways: The kitchen basics, go-to staples and favourite recipes that make it all stick.
Instead of constantly worrying whether you're eating the 'right' things, Food Sense gives you the tools to separate fact from fiction, so you can eat with flexibility, pleasure and room for the food and culture you love
