From the author of Spoon-Fed and The Diet Myth, a comprehensive guide to the new science of nutrition, drawing on Tim Spector's cutting-edge research as one of the world's leading experts in food science. - Food for health
- Food for your microbes
- Food as medicine
- Food as mental health
- Food for immunity
- Food for the planet
- Food for life Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat has never seemed so complicated. Tim Spector has pioneered a science-based approach to nutrition, encouraging us to forget misleading notions of calorie counts or nutritional breakdowns. In Food for Life he draws on over a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, along with his own personal insights, to deliver a new and comprehensive guide to what we should all know about food today. Taking a wide-angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labeling, Spector also shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
The pandemic should have changed many attitudes towards understanding biology, and Food for Lifeis the newly scientifically semi-literate person's post-Covid go-to food book...I trust the author and his work. ― The Times, *Book of the Week* Appealingly, Spector writes as a food lover... Every person's ideal diet is different, and should be based on sensible choices from a position of knowledge. Food for Life is a feast of that knowledge... Bullet-pointed tips at the end of each chapter and an appendix of food tables make it a valuable reference book to keep on a kitchen shelf. ―Guardian [A] weighty and detailed guide to modern living... [Spector] explains how to boost your microbiome and tailor your diet. ― Sunday Times, *Books of the Year*
A fascinating tour d'horizon, deftly drawing on recent research... Well written [and] informative.―Literary Review
Spector has been exploding the myths around food and health for years... Here he continues the demolition job in a rigorously academic book that welcomes the layperson with open arms. ―The Times, *Books of the Year* The nutrition revolution is well underway andTim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely. -- Yotam Ottolenghi - praise for SPOON-FED
