Eating has become a confusing experience. Should we follow a Keto diet? Is sugar the next tobacco? Does fermented cabbage juice cure disease? Are lectins toxic? Is drinking poppy seed tea risky?

We all have questions, and Dr. Joe Schwarcz has the answers, some of which will astonish you. Guaranteed to satisfy your hunger for palatable and relevant scienti?c information, bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz separates fact from ?ction in this collection of new and updated articles about what to eat, what not to eat, and how to recognise the scienti?c basis of food chemistry.
