Book description

The Science of Nutrition dismantles pseudoscience in food marketing and social media trends, replacing misinformation with rigorously researched facts. Lambert tackles pressing questions: Is plant-based always healthier? Can diet guard against dementia? What foods should pregnant women avoid? The book emphasizes that nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all, offering adaptable strategies for diverse lifestyles.

What Readers Will Learn

  • Critical distinctions: Differentiate between healthy and harmful fats, hidden vs. obvious sodium sources, and science-backed vs. fad diets.

  • Health optimization: Use food to support heart health, gut function, mental clarity, and disease prevention.

  • Practical nutrition: Interpret food labels, balance macronutrients, and incorporate supplements wisely.

Summary

Lambert’s authoritative yet accessible guide empowers readers to reclaim their relationship with food through science, not trends. With its emphasis on personalization and myth-busting, this book is a vital resource for making confident, health-driven dietary choices.
