Tim Spector is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London and Hon Consultant Physician at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital. He has won several academic awards and published over 700 academic papers, a large proportion of which relate directly to nutrition and the causes of obesity. He has appeared in numerous TV documentaries and is often consulted in British and international media on his team's research. Since 2011 he has been leading the largest microbiome project in the UK, using genetic sequencing to study the bacteria in the guts of 5,000 twins. He is the lead investigator for BRITISH GUT, the UK's largest open-source science project to understand the microbial diversity of the human gut.

The Diet Myth 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
这本书作者写的观点很多与平时我们所接受到的讯息很不一样,比如:间歇性断食、关注吃的多样性等等。从肠道微生物的角度,向我们展示了营养结构的千变万化——存在每个不同的个体,每个个体又有长年累月不同的饮食习惯。所以要有一个总结性的关于营养的结论是很难的。 好在蒂姆...
评分书名叫饮食的迷思,书中内容也确实解开了一些关于饮食的疑惑和误解,读起来一点儿不累,非常有意思。作者有个50人的研究团队,跟踪研究了11000对双胞胎二十多年,试图从将饮食环境和基因的影响分开的角度来研究一些营养学的问题。 书中反复强调的是肠道菌群的重要性,肠道菌群...
评分#饮食的迷思# 因为术后一个月里只能吃流食,可以吃的东西极其有限,我不得不花大量时间和精力思考以及尝试如何在维持生命机能的同时尽可能地补充一些营养,于是对饮食和营养学产生了很大的兴趣,这个时候发现了这本由英国遗传学教授蒂姆写的这本书《饮食的迷思》。 这本书很有...

'The Diet Myth is fascinating, and now I'm obsessed with microbes!' Nigella Lawson
We are all increasingly bewildered by the simple question of what to eat. Despite advice from experts, governments and dieticians about the dangers of too much fat, sugar, protein and lack of exercise, our nutrition - and the global obesity crisis - is getting worse.
Why can one person eat a certain meal and gain weight and another eat exactly the same food and lose pounds? Genes provide part of the answer, but we have been overlooking one vital aspect of diet that lies within us. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, scientists have begun to examine the permanent residents in our guts: the thousands of previously unknown but essential microbes whose job it is to digest our food and keep us alive.
Drawing on the latest science and his own research team's pioneering work, Professor Tim Spector explores the hidden world of the microbiome and demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding how our own microbes interact with our bodies can we overcome our confusion about modern diets and nutrition to regain the correct balance of our ancestors.
Mixing cutting-edge discoveries, illuminating science and his own case studies, Spector shows why we should stop listening to the myths of diet fads and instead embrace diversity for a healthy gut and a healthy body.
非常巧合,读这本书之前看了《肠道的小心思》,这本书很大的着力点也是在肠道菌群上,有了一点铺垫再看这本里面的科学实验就容易理解多了。非常推荐这本书,因为它机会用目前已知的科学知识客观地或批判性地给我们破除了一个又一个市面上口口相传的健康秘诀,饮食雷区,指导我们在决定之前不要盲目跟风,自然多样的饮食总没有错,不要迷恋补充剂、神奇的单一元素、超级食品等。

评分BMJ上写着作者has received research grants from Danone. ???? 提出的观点不错,不过吃腐乳、纳豆跟tempeh也能达到同样效果。
