Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well, by the #1 bestselling author of SPOON-FED

Product Information

Taking a wide-angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand. So I was surprised it did not mention the 2020 paper “Associations of fat and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality: prospective cohort study of UK Biobank participants” that shows the optimal amount of macronutrients of sugar, starch, fibre, different type of fats and protein. Eating a wide range of plants keeps you well – 30 a week is ideal, including seeds, nuts, herbs and spices. Ok, I agree pesticides are not ideal however "Organic" does not equal no pesticides - it just means certain pesticides are not used. e. 125 - 200 nmol/L in the blood - UK units not USA) so I supplement my food with vit D3 capsules which are essential for many reasons.

But other than that, this was a really good read and I'll be looking for more nonfiction food books now.Tim Spector empfiehlt ernsthaft genmanipulierte Lebensmittel für die Zukunft und kritisiert, dass manche Menschen diese Lebensmittel bedenklich finden!

Go for your life, but there is already so much stress and guilt around food (especially for women) why add more? Conceptually, he explains, our genes are not fixed entities but more like plastic, able to change shape and evolve, and these changes can be passed on to future generations. Occasionally there will be mentions of his ZOE PREDICT study (which after reading the book I am still not entirely clear on the premise of the study or what "ideal" results might look like) and how his own results have influenced his personal food choices, which is great for him but I am not clear on how those same foods would or should influence my own choices as my body might react differently (I am a woman in my 40's not, like him, a man in my 60's: we have vastly different nutritional needs). Mijn gevoel is alleen dat hij erachter kwam niet genoeg pagina's te kunnen leveren over dit onderwerp en de rest maar aanvulde met feitjes over verschillende soorten voeding.

Instead of putting a lot of pressure on the individual and their choices, it's good to put pressure on the food industry.
