Von der hinteren Coverseite

Nutrition isn't rocket science; it's harder.

There are new diet fads, bold claims about superfoods and articles promising the secrets to lasting weight-loss and longevity. The more 'expert' advice we hear about diet, the less clarity we have about what to eat.

In Food Intelligence, award-winning health journalist, Julia Belluz, and internationally renowned nutrition and metabolism scientist, Kevin Hall, cut through the myths about nutrition in a comprehensive book on food and diet, revealing the latest science and research on:

· How protein, fat, carbs and vitamins impact our bodies

· The wonders of metabolism

· Blood sugar trackers and precision nutrition

· How the food environment around us shapes our eating habits

· Ultra-processed and hyper palatable foods

Humane and deeply reported, this journey into the science of what we eat will equip you with the food intelligence you need to better understand what's on your dinner plate, how it got there, and why you eat it.
