Giveaway: Something to Chew On
June 13, 2012 in Giveaways
In Something to Chew On, Professor Mike Gibney of UCD challenges common misinformation and misconceptions to do with food and health. It deals with the topics of organic food, GM foods, obesity, growing old, the integrity of food research, global warming, global malnutrition, consumer perception of food-borne risk, our gut bacteria, and how nutrition during pregnancy primes us for health in later life.
Something to Chew On is an informative and entertaining book which covers, from a scientific point of view, many worldwide controversies dominating the popular press in relation to the safety and wholesomeness of the modern food chain.
The book is highly suitable for the general reader and will be an invaluable guide to the science of nutrition for students of food and health.
