Food Sense : What to Eat and Why

What we put on our plates is one of the simplest ways to improve our short-term and long-term health, but with so much contradictory advice out there, it can feel overwhelming. Renowned Stanford scientist, Christopher Gardner, has been researching nutrition for over 20 years and in Food Sense he shows you where there is genuine scientific consensus so you can discern fact from fads and ignore the health food marketing hype. From weight loss to protein, ultra-processed foods, seed oils, GMO''s and fermented foods, this definitive and myth-busting guide answers all your nutrition questions in one place.

At the heart of the book is a flexible framework built around vegetables and whole foods, minimizing added sugars and refined grains, while making room for pleasure, culture and personal values. With practical insights, motivating science and approachable recipes, Food Sense empowers readers to take control of their food choices, enjoy what they eat and build habits that last.
