A fascinating and original look at the impact of food on our bodies
underpinned by cutting-edge research
Completely fascinating
*Sheila Dillon*
The Diet Myth is fascinating, and I'm now obsessed with
microbes!
Ground-breaking
*Bee Wilson*
I don't read diet books and I certainly never plug them, but The
Diet Myth is a worthy exception that provides new insight into why
we should think twice about what we put in our mouths
*THE TIMES*
It's not often that a book changes my life in a mere three
chapters...given my usual reluctance to jump on any nutritional
bandwagon, I reckon this makes Tim Spector's work a rather
compelling read. It's truly eye-opening stuff, and we owe it to
ourselves and the 100 trillion friends inside our bodies to read
this book
*LITERARY REVIEW*
He makes a brilliant case
*EVENING STANDARD*
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
A great book ... a lovely, easy, urbane read ... And it's very
convincing. I'd advise anyone pondering a diet this season to read
it first
