Excellent! Science-baced nutritional information.

I highly recommend this book. Whether you are new to nutrition or well-versed you will get something out of it.
The author does not start with a conclusion and then try to convince you of it. He gives a quick breakdown of the current status of the evidence and then explains reasonable takeaways.
THE REASON I loved this book was because in addition to the raw information we get a peek into the scientific rationale behind nutritional science and how to evaluate good lines of evidence along with dispelling pseudoscience and myth.

My only criticism is that the tone can come across as snarky at times, which can be off putting, ESPECIALLY if this is meant to help people who may hold some of the views the author hopes to clarify. I plan to recommend this book with only some hesitation due to the occasional off putting tone.

This book, like all other books by Dr Joe Schwarcz, is consistency entertaining and informative. His books, and audiobooks, are always interesting.
Dr Schwarcz’s books are an excellent antidote to the misinformation which is so prevalent.
