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.

評分#飲食的迷思# 因為術後一個月裏隻能吃流食,可以吃的東西極其有限,我不得不花大量時間和精力思考以及嘗試如何在維持生命機能的同時盡可能地補充一些營養,於是對飲食和營養學産生瞭很大的興趣,這個時候發現瞭這本由英國遺傳學教授蒂姆寫的這本書《飲食的迷思》。 這本書很有...
評分最近的閱讀書籍,大概陸陸續續用瞭一周多的時間。 作者英國的蒂姆.斯佩剋特,看介紹很厲害的樣子。“遺傳方麵的專傢,發錶專業論文逾800篇,引用率排名全球前1%,並掌握全球最大的寶貴實驗數據庫之一:對13000對同卵雙胞胎超過20年跟蹤對比的數據。” 譯者李超群,看上去也很厲...
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...

受益匪淺
評分非常巧閤,讀這本書之前看瞭《腸道的小心思》,這本書很大的著力點也是在腸道菌群上,有瞭一點鋪墊再看這本裏麵的科學實驗就容易理解多瞭。非常推薦這本書,因為它機會用目前已知的科學知識客觀地或批判性地給我們破除瞭一個又一個市麵上口口相傳的健康秘訣,飲食雷區,指導我們在決定之前不要盲目跟風,自然多樣的飲食總沒有錯,不要迷戀補充劑、神奇的單一元素、超級食品等。
評分有趣。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。
評分關於營養學的百科全書,很多的最新實驗證據,非常好的飲食指南。
評分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
