Publisher Description
Did you know that a staggering 62% of the food in our supermarkets is ultra-processed - and that eating these foods slowly poisons us over time?
In this hard-hitting exposé, New York Times bestselling author Dr Robert Lustig reveals how our addiction to ultra-processed foods - fuelled by the food industry, big agriculture, big pharma, medicine, and government - is driving a deadly surge in diseases like diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, cancer, and dementia.
We've been led to believe these chronic illnesses are just part of aging. Dr Lustig shatters this myth and shows that it's actually a consequence of what we eat.
The solution? Returning to real, unprocessed food. Dr Lustig offers a practical, doable plan to restore health, boost immunity, and reclaim wellbeing - for ourselves and society.
'Metabolical lays bare the depth of the relationship between the recent and profound perversion of the human diet and its overwhelming health consequences.' - Dr David Perlmutter, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Grain Brain and Brain Wash
Customer Reviews
An expert author with a systematic vision on health
In the past decennia, all of medical “science” seemed to concentrate on single symptoms and single symptom relief medicines. Like keeping up mopping up the water and not fixing the leak. Or smashing the fire alarm when it goes off, instead of grabbing the extinguisher and putting out the fire. Pain is the bodies’ alarm system, just grab a pain killer, right?
Keeping it that way is in the interesst of very wealthy, large companies. There is nothing wrong with making money, there is when it feeds peoples’ ignorance and child-like feeding habits.
Metabolical is a book by a most knowledable and experienced author, who understand and explains how all the bad American feeding habits kill people in the long term. Bottom line: eat from any traditional diet from anywhere in the world, except for those of the anglophone countries.
Metabolical is an incredible insightful book, written by an expert with no vested interest in what you eat.
