Summary

The media is full of advice about what we should eat and warnings about what we shouldn't. What should you believe-and how much of what you hear can you trust? In this title, the author dispels the confusion and applies his knowledge of food chemistry to the top food trends. It also looks at the real science behind losing weight.

An Apple A Day Reviews

"A sensible, rational overview of the natural chemistry of what we eat."

* BBC Focus *

"food science is made comprehensible, the fads deflated and the truth established"

* Lovereading.co.uk *

"An entertaining guide through the tangle of conflicting research studies, advertising claims, special interest groups, age-old myths and popular opinion that make diet a cloudy subject. ... leaves readers with a rational framework for evaluating the complex nature of foods and how they affect health."

* Library Journal *

"Readers will not need a PhD in chemistry to follow along; Schwarcz wisely limits technical terms to the minimum while explaining the chemistry involved in digestion."

* Publishers Weekly *

"A great book. A reference every eater might want to have on hand, especially to help debunk annoying and fuilt-inducing myths."

* Toronto Star *

"Fascinating"

* The Good Book Guide *
