What We Know (and Don't Know) About Food: Scientific Facts That Will Change Your Ideas About Nutrition

Biologist and geneticist Ancha Baranova and nutritionist Maria Kardakova have jointly written a book that helps to look at healthy eating from a different angle. The book destroys many stereotypes about the harmfulness and benefits of various products, shows the risks of the most common diets, provides food for thought and an incentive for a thoughtful approach to nutrition.

Nutritional recommendations are constantly changing. Just yesterday you couldn't eat after six, and today you can. Some people shout about the harm of fatty foods, and some don't see any danger in them. Perhaps today we know only one thing for sure: your nutrition should take into account your characteristics - genes, age, living in a certain area, type of work, existing diseases, availability of products, their interchangeability and compatibility.

There are no specific recipes here, but general principles of nutrition are highlighted.

And besides, it's just a fascinating read about our amazing body.
