THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Everything we've been told about our diets is wrong Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Is there any point in counting calories? Is there any evidence that coffee is bad for you? Through his pioneering scientific research, Tim Spector busts these myths and combats food fake news. Spoon-Fed explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many medical and government diet recommendations, and how the food industry holds sway over these policies and our choices. Spoon-Fed is a groundbreaking book that forces us to question every diet plan, official recommendation, miracle cure or food label we encounter, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food. 'A hugely enjoyable and critical look at common food myths' Michael Mosley 'Illuminating and so incredibly timely' Yotam Ottolenghi 'This book should be available on prescription.' Felicity Cloake
