Description
The Science Behind a Healthy Diet The humble apple contains thousands of antioxidants with varying effects on our health. However, studying each chemical individually is insufficient to understand how it contributes to the overall impact of eating an apple. Nutritional science has traditionally focused on isolating individual chemicals to determine their specific influence on the human body. This approach has limitations, as almost every chemical can affect other chemicals, leading to a vast array of possible biological consequences. The traditional method of studying one chemical at a time provides little insight into the complexity of what happens in our bodies when we eat. In contrast, a whole food, plant-based diet has been shown to be the healthiest way to eat. In "Whole", T. Colin Campbell explains the science behind his evidence and why the current scientific paradigm often ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body.
