*The Sunday Times Bestseller*
Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes?
Are vegan diets always healthier?
Is weight the main driver of our health?
No, no and absolutely not - NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight.
In Food Isn't Medicine, he draws on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', unravelling the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat. With candour and compassion, he debunks damaging food myths and dismantles the most pervasive of them all: the myth that your weight defines your health.
If you have ever considered intermittent fasting, avoided artificial sweeteners, dairy or carbs for 'health' reasons, or struggled through diet after diet wondering why nothing seems to work, this book will be a powerful wake-up call.

Dispels All The Diet Fallacies With Truth and Science
It’s not a diet book but a book that dispels all the conspiracy theories of diet culture under the sun with science. It addresses issues of inequality, inequities, mental health, broken relationships with food, stigma around weight and much more. It’s very useful that the author understands not just biomedical science but also nutritional science. So he’s in a better position to explain in a succinct manner than a doctor who is not nutritionally trained. Food really is not medicine. Yes, food has the capacity to impact your health, but this book explains why believing weather vegan, Keto, no sugar, intermittent fasting or what have you don’t have the capacity to cure a disease or illness. Human health is complex. This book explains why food is food and medicine is medicine. Highly recommend if you want to empower yourself with knowledge to guard yourself against diet culture.
