Review of 'In defence of food' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

A good overview with what is wrong with nutritional science, and the various diet fads that it spawns. Unlike [book: The Omnivore's Dilemma], which featured in depth interviews, this is straight-forward journalistic review of current research and thinking.
