Eating in the name of science

What foods should I choose if I have high cholesterol? What about protecting my bones? Should I limit all sugars to prevent diabetes? What should I do about “orange peel” skin? The bond between nutrition and health is very close: we are what we eat. While eating, we provide the building blocks for our continuous regeneration. However, an excess of some nutrients or a deficiency in others can prevent our body from reacting and defending against diseases. This book tries to dispel myths that link certain foods to certain diseases and gives simple advice such as the healthy habit of eating fruit at the end of meals. Everything is shown according to scientific evidence, citing only studies done on human beings and not “preliminary” results from animal or in vitro studies.
