2020 Foreword Indie Award Winner in the "Health" Category From the
coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times
bestselling follow-up, Whole Despite extensive research and
overwhelming public information on nutrition and health science, we
are more confused than ever-about the foods we eat, what good
nutrition looks like, and what it can do for our health. In The
Future of Nutrition, T. Colin Campbell cuts through the noise with
an in-depth analysis of our historical relationship to the food we
eat, the source of our present information overload, and what our
current path means for the future-both for individual health and
society as a whole. In these pages, Campbell takes on the
institution of nutrition itself, unpacking: * Why the institutional
emphasis on individual nutrients (instead of whole foods) as a
means to explain nutrition has had catastrophic consequences * How
our reverence for "high quality" animal protein has distorted our
understanding of cholesterol, saturated fat, unsaturated fat,
environmental carcinogens, and more * Why mainstream food and
nutrient recommendations and public policy favor corporate
interests over that of personal and planetary health * How we can
ensure that public nutrition literacy can prevent and treat
personal illness more effectively and economically The Future of
Nutrition offers a fascinating deep-dive behind the curtain of the
field of nutrition-with implications both for our health and for
the practice of science itself.
