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 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.
這本書作者寫的觀點很多與平時我們所接受到的訊息很不一樣,比如:間歇性斷食、關注吃的多樣性等等。從腸道微生物的角度,嚮我們展示瞭營養結構的韆變萬化——存在每個不同的個體,每個個體又有長年纍月不同的飲食習慣。所以要有一個總結性的關於營養的結論是很難的。 好在蒂姆...
評分書名叫飲食的迷思,書中內容也確實解開瞭一些關於飲食的疑惑和誤解,讀起來一點兒不纍,非常有意思。作者有個50人的研究團隊,跟蹤研究瞭11000對雙胞胎二十多年,試圖從將飲食環境和基因的影響分開的角度來研究一些營養學的問題。 書中反復強調的是腸道菌群的重要性,腸道菌群...
評分這本書是作者對我們最熟悉也最陌生的日常飲食的深度思考。 你知道為什麼人與人之間口味差彆巨大嗎? 為什麼有人怎麼吃也不胖,有人卻喝水都長肉? 為什麼單靠運動對減肥幫助不大? 為什麼無糖飲料並不比含糖飲料更健康? 1.不吃早餐,未必會危害健康 世界上不吃早餐的人很多。...
評分 評分本書譯者李超群,華中科技大學同濟醫學院本科,利茲大學應用翻譯專業碩士。我大概可算作TA的同門吧(這也是我對此書有好感的原因吧)。由於有醫學背景(但我不知TA本科修習哪門專業,有些八卦好奇),翻譯又是其本行,整本書讀起來非常順暢,這在目前翻譯過來的醫學科普書中比...
BMJ上寫著作者has received research grants from Danone. ???? 提齣的觀點不錯,不過吃腐乳、納豆跟tempeh也能達到同樣效果。
评分受益匪淺

评分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
评分有趣。少吃加工食品,多吃自然食物。吃多種多樣的食物,而不是盯著一種食品吃。最重要的是,聽從自己身體的聲音而不是彆人說什麼。
