Perfect Health Diet: Regain Health and Lose Weight by Eating the Way You Were Meant to Eat by Paul Jaminet

4.0

I generally think that much of nutritional science is a scam, and the title of this book seems to indicate it'd be more of the same, but I was more than pleasantly surprised with it. It did an amazing job of taking a very complex topic and breaking it down in a way that was both detailed and approachable. It combines evolutionary thinking with the results from modern scientific experiments to share a perspective on how to eat healthily. The only downside is that at times, it makes some leaps from what the experiments said to what the recommendation is. It's not all over the book, but it's the only downside to this one that I can think of. Definitely worth a read if you're interested in the science behind food.
