'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.
作者简介
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.

读后感
这本书作者写的观点很多与平时我们所接受到的讯息很不一样，比如：间歇性断食、关注吃的多样性等等。从肠道微生物的角度，向我们展示了营养结构的千变万化——存在每个不同的个体，每个个体又有长年累月不同的饮食习惯。所以要有一个总结性的关于营养的结论是很难的。 好在蒂姆...

Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
评分"We tend to forget just how recent is the latest craze for fitness and sports. In the 1980s joggers in strange pyjama-like outfits were seen as weirdos and treated with derision. " "For those of you who genetically or culturally can’t stand the thought of physical exercise there may be another way to burn calories – thinking hard."
评分这本书提出了全新的思路！很有意思！这一套理论倒是很能解释为啥我在美国吃吃吃却没怎么长胖，用照顾花园的方式照顾自己的肠胃，并且：别吃你奶奶那辈还没有的食物，那么问题来了，那时候有没有薯条汉堡炸鸡呢？
评分有趣。少吃加工食品，多吃自然食物。吃多种多样的食物，而不是盯着一种食品吃。最重要的是，听从自己身体的声音而不是别人说什么。
评分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
