The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat

“The Diet Myth is a fascinating and original look at the impact of food on our bodies, underpinned by cutting-edge research.” (Dr. Michael Mosley, author of the #1 New York Times Betseller The FastDiet) “A concise, entertaining book that demystifies the benefits of balanced microbes through healthier eating. ” (Kirkus) “Engaging and wide-ranging, The Diet Myth provides a great summary of the current evidence linking microbes and diet, and shows the intriguing possibilities for monitoring one's own microbes. It points toward exciting future studies and technologies.” (Dr. Rob Knight, acclaimed author of the TED Talk "How Our Microbes Make Us Who We Are") “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.” (Dr. Martin Blaser, author of Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics is Fueling Our Modern Plague)
