Publisher Description:
From gluten-free to all-Paleo, GMOs to grass-fed beef, our newsfeeds abound with nutrition advice. Whether sensational headlines from the latest study or anecdotes from celebrities and food bloggers, we're bombarded with superfoods and best ever diets promising to help us lose weight,
fight disease, and live longer. At the same time, we live in an over-crowded food environment that makes it easy to eat, all the time. The result is an epidemic of chronic disease amidst a culture of nutrition confusion-and copious food choices that challenge everyday eaters just trying to get a
healthy meal on the table.

But the exhilarating truth is that scientists know an astounding amount about the power of food. A staggering 80% of chronic diseases are preventable through modifiable lifestyle changes, and diet is the single largest contributing factor. And we also know the secrets to eating sustainably to
protect our planet.

In Food & Nutrition, Harvard- and Columbia-trained nutrition scientist Dr. P.K. Newby examines 134 stand-alone questions addressing need to know topics, including how what we eat affects our health and environment, from farm to fork, and why, when it comes to diet, the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts-and one size doesn't fit all. At the same time, Newby debunks popular myths and food folklore, encouraging readers to learn, unlearn, and relearn the fundamentals of nutrition at the heart of a health-giving diet. Her passion for all things food shines through it all, as does her
love of the power of science, technology, and engineering to help create healthier diets for ourselves, and a more sustainable future for the planet we share.
