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.

Hi this book sounds very interesting. I’m an constantly battling with my attitude to food and I have a very lazy attitude towards it and it’s preparation. I’m on a good track at the moment trying to loose weight and cut back the rubbish. Any source of info that may help this would be super. Thanks!

I read today that the EU is advocating kids to eat lees fruit as it contains high levels of fructose! I wonder if the Professor covers that in his book? I just have to try and win one to find out!
