Lots to absorb here ! Well written and useful in the kitchen bookshelf.
RR Waller –
With 1350 positive reviews, it seem redundant to write another so, apart from recommending it highly her are a few brief observations:1. The chapter summaries at the end of each chapter are very useful2. At the back of the book, pages 422-448, there are some tables which are extremely useful.3. Apart from stressing the need to eat for good healthy, it points strongly to good gut food.4. It points out that the immune system cannot be boosted but it should be supported and maintained.5. Page 25 has an interesting section on essential Vitamin D – natural sunshine is much better than supplements and, in Winter, egg yolks, oily fish, sunbathed mushrooms (shiitake and button) and fortified foods are good sources.not enthusiastic about supplements (which many doctors recommend).6. It will open, eyes on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) – industrial formulations manufactured from substances derived from organic sources. They contain little or no whole foods, which Spector recommends.7. Little or no evidence suggesting eating quality meat in moderation is a health risk but that processed meat products are definitely bad for health.8. Meat alternatives and lab-grown meats are part of our future.9. Eggs are a great source of protein; a good egg sinks, a bad egg floats.9. Half the fish we buy is fake.10. Regular processed meat consumption is associated with increased heart disease and probably cancer.Be prepared to be educated, informed and change your eating habits … an probably live a longer, healthier life.

I got this book as a stocking filler after hearing it serialised on Radio 4. Thr author is very knowledgeable about all aspects of what we eat.
