'The Diet Myth is fascinating, and now I'm obsessed with microbes!' Nigella Lawson
We are all increasingly bewildered by the simple question of what to eat. Despite advice from experts, governments and dieticians about the dangers of too much fat, sugar, protein and lack of exercise, our nutrition - and the global obesity crisis - is getting worse.
Why can one person eat a certain meal and gain weight and another eat exactly the same food and lose pounds? Genes provide part of the answer, but we have been overlooking one vital aspect of diet that lies within us. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, scientists have begun to examine the permanent residents in our guts: the thousands of previously unknown but essential microbes whose job it is to digest our food and keep us alive.
Drawing on the latest science and his own research team's pioneering work, Professor Tim Spector explores the hidden world of the microbiome and demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding how our own microbes interact with our bodies can we overcome our confusion about modern diets and nutrition to regain the correct balance of our ancestors.
Mixing cutting-edge discoveries, illuminating science and his own case studies, Spector shows why we should stop listening to the myths of diet fads and instead embrace diversity for a healthy gut and a healthy body.
Tim Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London and Hon Consultant Physician at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital. He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. He has appeared in numerous TV documentaries and is often consulted in British and international media on his team's research. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK's largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut.

评分 评分这本书是作者对我们最熟悉也最陌生的日常饮食的深度思考。 你知道为什么人与人之间口味差别巨大吗? 为什么有人怎么吃也不胖,有人却喝水都长肉? 为什么单靠运动对减肥帮助不大? 为什么无糖饮料并不比含糖饮料更健康? 1.不吃早餐,未必会危害健康 世界上不吃早餐的人很多。...
受益匪浅
评分关于营养学的百科全书,很多的最新实验证据,非常好的饮食指南。
评分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
评分肠是人类第二个大脑,肠里的微生物能和基因一样影响决定我们身体状态,不吃加工食物,减少抗菌素的使用,增加食物的多样性来增加微生物的种类,保护我们的肠胃就像精心照料花园一样。
