Description
Dr. Robert Lustig's Metabolical challenges our current understanding of chronic disease, revealing how processed food has contributed to the rise of health problems over the past 50 years. By examining the interconnected strands of nutrition, health, medicine, environment, and society, Lustig proposes a new approach to curing both ourselves and the planet.
Through his work, Lustig argues that medicine often treats symptoms rather than the disease itself, and that processed food is not only toxic but also addictive. He also makes the case that food is the key to effecting biochemical change and improving our health, and outlines a new approach to eating based on protecting the liver and feeding the gut.
Metabolical offers a compelling and scientifically-backed argument for a new way of thinking about food, health, and disease. By understanding the underlying pathologies and the role of processed food, we can take control of our own health and work towards a more sustainable future.
