Nutritionism

The science and politics of dietary advice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Demystifies the popular obsession with 'good' versus 'bad' nutrients, showing how this is used by the food industry to promote processed foods with misleading health claims. Gyorgy Scrinis explores the origins of this reductive focus on nutrients, and how it can undermine our understanding of what is healthy and unhealthy food.
