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 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
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...
评分饮食的迷思 每周禁食一天 我们吃的披萨可能是冷冻食品,高脂高糖,有大量不健康的奶酪 对当前营业学的混乱提出批评:「在科学和医学中,没有哪一个领域像营养学一样充满内讧、缺乏共识、也缺少严谨的实验研究来支撑各式各样的饮食指南声称其所具有的健康功效」 肠道微生物的多...
评分这本书是作者对我们最熟悉也最陌生的日常饮食的深度思考。 你知道为什么人与人之间口味差别巨大吗? 为什么有人怎么吃也不胖,有人却喝水都长肉? 为什么单靠运动对减肥帮助不大? 为什么无糖饮料并不比含糖饮料更健康? 1.不吃早餐,未必会危害健康 世界上不吃早餐的人很多。...
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...

'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.
受益匪浅
评分破除饮食迷思的好书,每章节用一个豪斯医生式的发病小故事引人入胜,趣味性强。章节内综述研究发现,结合身边或自己的实例,又比较接地气,行文幽默诙谐。饮食建议总结为一句话就是:听从自己的肠道(微生物),增加饮食多样性,吃真正的蔬菜水果,可以间歇性断食给微生物放假。你的身体是一座花园而不是神庙,你是这个花园最好的园丁。
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。
