Jonathan Gushue, Principal, Gushue Hospitality Inc. A sobering account of humanity's attempt to overcome modern food blandness with flavor compounds, at the expense of nutritional integrity. Schatzker's engaging chronicle of how naturally occurring food flavor is as an evolutionary tuned sensory marker of nutritional value is bound to give consumers and scientists a new perspective on judging food quality and health effects.

Howard Moskowitz, inventor of Prego Extra Chunky Spaghetti Sauce and food industry legend After decades of conflict over sugar, carbs and fat, this extremely well researched book journeys to the heart of the food problem-flavor-and delivers the perfect solution.
Dr. Richard Bazinet, Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Toronto I don't know when this much science has been this fun to read. Brilliant.
Joel Salatin, author of Folks, This Ain't Normal and farmer at Polyface Farm In The Dorito Effect Mark Schatzker explores a novel - and to my mind, key - theory to explain our increasing consumption of the low-quality food that is undermining health. Modern food production has made much of what we eat flavorless, and a multibillion dollar flavor industry has stepped in to fool our senses, leaving us unsatisfied and craving more and more. I strongly agree with his advice to go back to eating real food.
Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. New York Times bestselling author of Healthy Aging Mark Schatzker has done something monumental in The Dorito Effect, he explained how the American food industry has interfered with our body's conversation with itself. The use of flavor to change this conversation is one of the major reasons for the decline in the American diet leading to major health issues. The Dorito Effect is one of the most important health and food books I have read.
David B. Agus, M.D., author of The End of Illness and A Short Guide to a Long Life Mark Schatzker's book comes at a time when healthful eating and sustainability are increasingly on everyone's minds. The Dorito Effect is a quick, engaging read that examines the essential role that flavor plays in the way we eat today. As a chef, I know that people want to eat delicious food, but Schatzker goes further and investigates how we engage with flavor to address the growing health crisis.
