Reviews
"A sensible, rational overview of the natural chemistry of what we eat."
"food science is made comprehensible, the fads deflated and the truth established"
"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."
"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."
"A great book. A reference every eater might want to have on hand, especially to help debunk annoying and fuilt-inducing myths."
"Fascinating"
