Food Isn’t Medicine

Product Information

Iets waarvan ik heel blij ben dat ik er nog eens op gewezen word, en waarvan ik weet dat veel collega-artsen het maar al te graag negeren om over te gaan op fat shaming en blaming. That said, the gluten thing has been blown out of proportion — people avoid it even though they don’t have celiac disease, which is pointless. This book explores various diets and food information that is floating around on the internet and looks at the science behind them, the veracity of the claims and the health implications. I was a bit hesitant at first in reviewing this book because it wasn't precise on the exact consumption each one of the foods or nutrients should be consumed or not, so it might be that some of my claims actually coincide with his.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) occurs when babies are born without the ability to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine . It’s refreshing knowing there’s a doctor out there fighting to break down a lot of the shame-driven decisions we make, and that food holds no moral value over us. I think pretty much everyone has fallen prey to diet scams and influenced by those around us - well fear no more!As someone who I thought was fairly well informed about nutrition and knew about ‘nutribollocks’, and how people sell their idea of nutrition and health through eating to a western world of people who are obsessed with weight, I was surprised at just how much I learned from this book about common fad diets and how they are wrong (and even about a couple I’d never heard of before). I would venture to guess that most people believe one or more of the myths in this book, based on the things I hear so many people in my life and online say, so it’s well worth a read. I’m a scientist and an ex powerlifter with a love for fitness - and with that, yes, I have fallen prey to so so many complicated weight and diet patterns.

Se siete stanchi di sentirvi dire che qualunque problema di salute abbiate, la soluzione è perdere peso, e volete ricevere le cure che meritate, leggete questo libro, così la prossima volta saprete cosa rispondere ai medici fasulli.I love that Joshua explained a glossary of terms at the beginning to help further understanding with scientific terms and throughout he made sure all the information was disseminated perfectly for every kind of reader. I suffered with really bad acne and incredibly heavy and painful periods that put me in the ER with no answers. He addresses nuance and privilege too, the HAES approach and all sorts of things I hadn’t encountered or heard of before even if I thought I had a fair amount of prior knowledge, there’s always more to learn and I learnt so much from this book.

But when it comes to food there is an enormous multitude of misinformation out there that at first glance sounds like fact. Das Buch schafft es, dass man sich langsam in seiner eigenen Haut etwas wohler fühlt, auch wenn man jahrelang schon kämpft, denn er erklärt mehrmals wo die Probleme liegen.

He follows a Health at Every Size® approach and encourages his patients to have a healthy, happy relationship with their bodies and food. Oz has promoted certain foods as having “ cancer-starving benefits ,” suggesting that eating them in particular quantities may literally prevent cancer from spreading in your body.It stands head and shoulders above any other book written in the medical nutrition (or 'diet', in some cases) field. A couple of years ago I read ‘ Just Eat It’ by Laura Thomas – and it was interesting that she, and intuitive eating, are mentioned early on by Dr Joshua – and I was glad to cover the topic again. Food Isn’t Medicine wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning.
