From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Young Forever, a 'roadmap to reclaiming our vitality' from the powerful web of corporate interests hijacking our food, our health, and our future (Dr. Casey Means, author of Good Energy).Poor diet is now the single biggest killer on the planet. More than 60% of Americans are living with chronic disease, which causes 50 million deaths a year globally. One in two Americans and one in four teenagers have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, and 38% of children are overweight or obese and around the world our food is more processed, more toxic, and less nourishing than ever before.
This is no accident, says #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman. It is the logical outcome of a food system engineered for power and profit rather than the health of individuals.
In this fully updated and uncensored edition of his 2020 tour de force, Hyman exposes how the toxic triad of Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Pharma keep us trapped in a cycle of illness and addiction - and how to fight back and reverse the epidemic of chronic disease.
Pairing cutting-edge developments in nutritional science with an unflinching look at the dark realities of the global food system,
Food Fix Uncensored will change the way you think about-and eat-food forever.
