Description
The Science Behind a Healthier Way to Eat Nutritional science is at a crossroads. For too long, researchers have focused on studying individual chemicals in isolation, trying to determine their impact on the human body. However, this reductionist approach ignores the complexity of how these chemicals interact with each other inside our bodies. A whole food, plant-based diet has been shown to be the healthiest way to eat, but what happens when we eat a single apple? The answer is far more complex than we might imagine. Thousands of antioxidants in an apple can have a profound impact on our health, but calculating their individual effects is insufficient to explain how they contribute to our overall well-being. In this book, T. Colin Campbell explains the science behind his groundbreaking research, revealing why our current understanding of nutrition is flawed and how it has failed to change our eating habits despite overwhelming evidence.
