The Diet Myth by Tim Spector
One of the leading scientists in the field explores the hidden connection between our guts and our health. Updated throughout and with a new foreword.
A fascinating and original look at the impact of food on our bodies underpinned by cutting-edge research
Completely fascinating -- Sheila Dillon
The Diet Myth is fascinating, and I'm now obsessed with microbes!
Ground-breaking -- Bee Wilson
I don't read diet books and I certainly never plug them, but The Diet Myth is a worthy exception that provides new insight into why we should think twice about what we put in our mouths * THE TIMES *
It's not often that a book changes my life in a mere three chapters..given my usual reluctance to jump on any nutritional bandwagon, I reckon this makes Tim Spector's work a rather compelling read. It's truly eye-opening stuff, and we owe it to ourselves and the 100 trillion friends inside our bodies to read this book * LITERARY REVIEW *
He makes a brilliant case * EVENING STANDARD *
Tim Spector carefully explains that we are NOT what we eat, but rather that our trillions of microbial inhabitants have a thing or two to say. Lucidly written, The Diet Myth provides a first-class education about the conjunction of our microbes and our health
A great book ... a lovely, easy, urbane read ... And it's very convincing. I'd advise anyone pondering a diet this season to read it first -- Alex Renton * The Food Programme, Book of the Year, BBC Radio 4 *
