APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Against a backdrop of health, wellbeing and diet experts shouting their conflicting advice from all corners of the internet comes Food for Life, which is in-depth yet engaging, and backed by science while remaining accessible to those of us who don’t know our polyphenols from our protein. Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, tells you early on that he’s not there to tell you what you should eat, but rather to give you the facts behind the many different foods you can eat. Whether you’re mindful about the microbiome or not, there’s so much to learn here. Spector lays out the need-to-know behind pretty much any food you can think of without being preachy about anyone’s dietary preferences. From how to identify ultra-processed foods to what food fraud is, it’s the sort of book you can read from cover to cover or treat as a handy reference guide. Tackling bigger topics like climate change and the future of food too, it’s an illuminating read that couldn’t have come at a better time.
