Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
We are all bombarded with advice about what we should and shouldn’t eat, and new scientific discoveries are announced every day. Yet the more we are told about nutrition, the less we seem to understand.
Through his pioneering scientific research, Tim Spector has been shocked to discover how little good evidence there is for many of our most deep-rooted ideas about food. In a series of short, myth-busting chapters, Spoon-Fed reveals why almost everything we’ve been told about food is wrong. Spector explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many medical and government food recommendations, and how the food industry holds sway over these policies and our choices.
Spoon-Fed is a groundbreaking book that forces us to question every diet plan, official recommendation, miracle cure or food label we encounter, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food.
Diet may be the most important medicine we all possess. We urgently need to learn how best to use.

a truly revolutionary book
each chapter sets out the facts around important subjects in eating healthily, sustainability and how the food industry has and still is heavily influencing government advice. this book has exposed nepotism and fraud, the lies we have been fed for years.

Good information, we’ll laid out
I enjoyed the myth debunking, it appears after listening to this book that there is little (maybe none)of the popular knowledge on health and nutrition that we can believe.

Good science based nutrition
It is great to see someone doing the prospective research needed to produce solid evidence based nutrition advice, and then reporting it to the public.
