About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat has never seemed so complicated. In his new book, Tim Spector creates a unique, thorough, evidence-based guide to the real science of eating. Moving away from misleading notions of calories or nutritional breakdowns, Food for Life empowers us to make our own food choices based on a deeper understanding of the true benefits and harms that come from our daily transactions with the foods around us.
Combining cutting-edge research with a personal insights, and taking a wide angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector takes a deep dive into each food type. Food for Life also includes easy-to-implement action points and useful tables as practical tools in our everyday food decisions, presented in a novel and comprehensive format. Ultimately, this book encourages us to fall in love again with food and celebrate its many wondrous properties, which science is still only just beginning to understand.
Audio updated as of November 2022.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Solid Science Based Advice
In a world awash with nonsense and marketing BS this book is just the tonic. Tim Spector is a scientist of world renown who is actively involved in some of the leading nutritional research being carried out today. He is therefore a credible and believable voice in his field and brings a nice down to earth and accessible approach to all this. You can tell he is a man who loves his food. Recommended.

A great collection of easy to follow advice for eating healthily. This book separates food fact from the huge amount of myth and misinformation we are given from ‘reliable’ sources.

I learned I could enjoy new foods and leave others behind for good.
At 56 years old I have finally brought my blood pressure down to normal levels after eating using the Zoe study and this book.
