WTF Yea, poison is GREAT for you, What a twit. There is some interesting info in here either debunking or explaining the truth behind superfoods, detoxing, and many other wide ranging subjects of interest.
I enjoyed reading about the different science experiments that were done to probe or disprove common beliefs about food.
I am glad to know chocolate is definitely good for you, Garlic, broccoli, and spinach is a must eat on a daily basis food, But who does

that anyway It's a really easy read, Lots of my family members have picked it up just to read a chapter they're interested in, I like that this book is a nononsense look at food and how it affects your body, Also, every time I doubted their statements, they pulled out a study they did firsthand on people to prove the point.
Most of all, I liked that this book actually makes you feel like it's not that hard to live a healthy lifestyle, and that it's worth it.
Heel leesbaar en uiterst informatief, loved it I just love this book, Well written, easy to read, my nutrition bible, Gorgeous photos and recipes to try, Tasty bites of truth

Fun, fascinating, and flashy, The Truth About Food is a tasty read.
Full of interesting food factsincluding garlic's potential to replace Viagra, broccoli's cancerfighting power, and tomato's sunscreen protectionthis book provides some great tidbits for eating wisely.
The book is nicely organized into six sections How to Be Healthy, How to Be Slim, How to Feed the Kids, How to Be Sexy, How to be the Best, How to Stay Young and Beautiful, each of which effectively enhances the chapter's key content with overviews, tips, engaging pictures, accessible explanations of relevant scientific research findings, and bulleted summaries.
An impressive hybrid of nutrition science and Discovery Channel captivation, The Truth About Food is truly fun to eat up! Quite a basic introduction This book fascinated me with all of the interesting studies done about food and the results.
I also appreciated the summaries every so many pages with the most interesting food myths spelled out across a couple of pages.
It help to break the monotony that can occur when reading nonfiction, Based on the research that went into the special done on Discovery Health, this book talks about different ways food can change your life.


It discusses food you can eat to be healthy reduce risk of cancer, particularly colon cancer, heart disease, control blood pressure and cholesterol, slim, feed your kids, be sexy and be your best.
A basic work. It repeats what you already know when you have read a lot about food,
The research is on a very small scale and therefore does not say much, It irritated me that the last research conclusions were not made "because the book needed to be printed" before results came in.

If you are not familiar yet with terms like 'lycopene' and 'flavonoids', it could be a nice starter.

I found this book overall interesting to read and accessible to beginners in the field, It is supposed to accompany a BBC documentary box set with the same title,

It is a good little collection of basic facts about nutrition and how the body works with the food we consume.

The book asks questions, which it entices you with, questions which you might have always wondered for yourself, such as:
Why does your thin friend eat what she likes, yet never put on weight
Is red wine good or bad for you
Why does my child hate vegetables
and many others.

It is divided intopics coresponding to theepisodes of the TV series and each topic also has subdivisions.


I found the information provided in the book interesting, and I enjoyed reading each experiment what they call "science tests" at the end of each subdivision.
The book has managed to strike a good enough balance between scientific facts, telling you about many scientific studies or about the history of human diet as well as presenting in a lighthearted and accessible way information and case studies that will spike your interest.


I did however feel that there were quite a few gaps that made the book relatively inconclusive and lacking in enough evidence and supporting data, and having the occasional misleading piece of information.

Disappointingly, many of the questions that you've been enticed with are left unanswered, Small experiments were sometimes conducted, while admiting that scientists have for years now been receiving data supporting two opposite opinions on a subject.
While I understand that those experiments "bulked up" the TV series, they were never going to prove what scientist couldn't agree on with much bigger studies.

Other times the experiments included had a very small pool of participants or did not take into consideration other data that could have affected the final results.
Thankfully, the author has mentioend a few times that they are aware those experiments are not conclusive,
Sometimes the experiments included were not even finished as "the results of the study were not ready by the time the book needed to be published".

I was personally annoyed every time they recommended "low fat youghurt", as it has been proven long ago that lowfat youghurt are full of more sugar, which is later on transformed into fat by your body anyway.
This made me question what other gaps there might be in the book,

That being said, there are some really useful and interest to read facts and case studied in the book.
I learnt new facts. I would still recommend it for anyone who doesn't have deep understanding but wants to improve their knowledge about nutrition and the affects of different foods in the body.
Was a quick read and a some interesting facts, I really enjoyed this book, It had great information but wasn't too sciencey, and had pretty photographs, It was put together and edited extremely well, and I learned a lot of interesting facts, The interesting facts made me want to pursue some of the information in a more detailed fashion somewhere else, but it was a good general overview of lots of food info.


I am becoming a little nuts about food, I am totally obsessed with nutrition, If by "obsessed", you mean I read everything I can about it, eat goodof the time, then have brownies for breakfast on occasion.
I just look at everything differently lately! I walk up and down the grocery store aisles totally fascinated and concerned.


I recommend this book, even though some of their "scientific" research included experiments ofpeople, . . meaning they really lacked on sample size from time to time, Conclusions are thus inconclusive, but interesting nonetheless,

I've read a couple of similar books on the subject, which either blind you with difficult science or are too lacking in information.
For me, this one gets it just right, I LOVED THIS BOOK so much that I actually copied a bunch of pages, Really goes into the in's and out's of food and what food can do for you, Tons of scientific studies on food myths, such as eating slower will make you eat less, and drinking water before a meal will make you feel fuller.
Really awesome read. This book is the reader's version of apart TV special on, I believe, the Discovery Channel, each part of the volume reflecting the content of one of thoseshows.
In Jill FullertonSmith's words, the book page"reveals the real science of food using the latest research from leaders in the field of nutrition, alongside original and sometimes groundbreaking experiments that we carried out especially for the series.
"

The content of the book begins, appropriately enough, with a quick tour of the digestive system.
Part I is termed "How to be healthy, " Among other topics, it briefly notes the socalled "Evo" or "cave man diet, " One nice feature of this book is the boxed material that pithily sums up major points, Pagepoints out the value of a "rainbow diet" using fruits and vegetables of different colors, as laid out in a table, reducing saturated fat intake, choosing oils rich in monounsaturated fats, selecting unrefined grains, and watching salt intake.
Commonly understood, of course, but still useful advice, Key food for the "evo diet": nuts, fruits and vegetables as per the table just mentioned, and fish.
Also important in diet is fiber, Pagesummarizes top tips. Another representation from Part I is "detox" regimes, foods that help remove toxins from one's system e, g. , stay away from salt, sugar, red meat, soft drinks, etc, and make sure to eat nuts, fruits, and vegetables, Finally, broccoli as a wonder food,

Other parts to the book focus on "How to be slim," "How to feed the kids," "How to be sexy," "How to be the best," and "How to stay young and beautiful.
" Just a quick example of suggestions from other chapters, How to stay young and beautiful Eat lots of fruits, berries, and vegetables to keep your brain young moderate intake of red wine reduces the odds of heart disease eating tomatoes and their kin can help keep skin "younger" spinach actually appears to help eyesight.


The book concludes with a useful glossary of terms, The book is well written and provides lots of sensible advice, A lot of the suggestions are widely known already e, g. , the value of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, but the book packages such knowledge nicely and reports results of interesting miniexperiments that illustrate the points being made.
Worthwhile for those interested in enhancing the quality of their diet,
