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

Inspiring, factual, well researched and will help every persons health
This book is phenomenal in terms of providing very well researched information and facts about the big picture and micro picture of the food we eat, the politics and the financially driven decisions that are made at the detriment to our individual health. It makes perfect sense on every level to me and I will certainly change my habits and perspective as a result of reading this book. Well done Robert for raising such difficult and challenging issues even in the face of considerable opposition. It is so refreshing and illuminating. Thank you for improving my own health as a result of all the information you have shared.
