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
最近的阅读书籍,大概陆陆续续用了一周多的时间。 作者英国的蒂姆.斯佩克特,看介绍很厉害的样子。“遗传方面的专家,发表专业论文逾800篇,引用率排名全球前1%,并掌握全球最大的宝贵实验数据库之一:对13000对同卵双胞胎超过20年跟踪对比的数据。” 译者李超群,看上去也很厉...
评分原本是抱着寻求减肥妙招的心态看这本书的,但是看完后发现自己太拿衣物了,推翻了我之前很多的认知,觉得自己太自负了,以前可能通过一些方式瘦下来,就觉得是科学正确的方法,别人瘦不下来就是意志力不够,而这恰恰和书里的论点相反。总结几点:1. 不要盲目相信营养学家、网红...

'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"We tend to forget just how recent is the latest craze for fitness and sports. In the 1980s joggers in strange pyjama-like outfits were seen as weirdos and treated with derision. " "For those of you who genetically or culturally can’t stand the thought of physical exercise there may be another way to burn calories – thinking hard."
评分这本书提出了全新的思路!很有意思!这一套理论倒是很能解释为啥我在美国吃吃吃却没怎么长胖,用照顾花园的方式照顾自己的肠胃,并且:别吃你奶奶那辈还没有的食物,那么问题来了,那时候有没有薯条汉堡炸鸡呢?
评分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
