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.
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...
评分 评分1.基因与体内外的微生物决定了健康,身形等 2.饮食应当追求多样化(食物链顶端人群),新鲜(少工业化,少添加,少防腐),简单烹饪(适量接受生食) 3.一周可以追求一两次的红肉与鱼肉,多吃各种各样的蔬果,一定要新鲜,少农药,少抗生素,不喝果汁,多全谷物 4.多酚,硒等抗...
评分受益匪浅
评分有趣。少吃加工食品,多吃自然食物。吃多种多样的食物,而不是盯着一种食品吃。最重要的是,听从自己身体的声音而不是别人说什么。
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Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
