BBC Focus

Lovereading.co.uk
An entertaining guide through the tangle of conflicting research studies, advertising claims, special interest groups, age-old myths and popular opinion that make diet a cloudy subject. ... leaves readers with a rational framework for evaluating the complex nature of foods and how they affect health.
Library Journal
Readers will not need a PhD in chemistry to follow along; Schwarcz wisely limits technical terms to the minimum while explaining the chemistry involved in digestion.
Publishers Weekly
A great book. A reference every eater might want to have on hand, especially to help debunk annoying and fuilt-inducing myths.
