This type of writing is appalling. I don't need a book to start with an apology for the author being white, or male, or having time to cook. My sincerest apologies if I'm displaying bigotry, but *being able to afford healthy food and having the capacity to cook it isn't a privilege*, it's a basic human right. If having access to nutrition is something to apologize for, we've messed up tremendously as a society. Food is a right. As to the findings of the book itself: I skimmed it a bit and found some of it far-fetched. But it wouldn't matter anyway, because I'm tired of reading non-fiction that is 70% fluff, woke agenda, or blaatant anecdata.

An excellent book that debunks food myths. Dr. Wolrich teases through the science of each claim without reading like a research article. There is enough nuance acknowledged to move away from black or white thinking when it comes to food and health. Hopefully this can shed more light on why the phrase "food is medicine" is so harmful.

This food debunks food and nutrition myths and gives an outlook on diet culture and the weight stigma that we have as a society. I can say it is a good read for those who want information on diet culture and weight myths but if you are looking for nutrition advice you wont get that much
