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.

評分以肠道微生物和核心进行讲解,以控制变量法为论证手段(通常是用双胞胎做实验以排除基因影响)。前面一大半都是讲肥胖的原因,改变肥胖的方法手段那些是科学的哪些是不科学的并且加以论证,我对此很不感兴趣基本扫了一眼然后抛之脑后,后边学到的就有很多。 总体学到的经验:胃...

評分 評分饮食的迷思 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...
破除飲食迷思的好書,每章節用一個豪斯醫生式的發病小故事引人入勝,趣味性強。章節內綜述研究發現,結閤身邊或自己的實例,又比較接地氣,行文幽默詼諧。飲食建議總結為一句話就是:聽從自己的腸道(微生物),增加飲食多樣性,吃真正的蔬菜水果,可以間歇性斷食給微生物放假。你的身體是一座花園而不是神廟,你是這個花園最好的園丁。
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。
评分Professional indeed. Kudos for my microbiota.
评分這個真沒法評價。科普性的讀物,閱讀體驗一般。但學到瞭很多關於飲食健康、飲食安全以及生物學的知識。作為一般讀者,沒有精力和動力核實書裏數據的真實性和準確性,無法考證實驗方法的閤理性,對於本書給齣的一些結論,仍然會保持將信將疑的態度。但營養和安全不是哲學思辨,無法得齣一個能指導自己生活的方案,還是有些沮喪。
评分這本書提齣瞭全新的思路!很有意思!這一套理論倒是很能解釋為啥我在美國吃吃吃卻沒怎麼長胖,用照顧花園的方式照顧自己的腸胃,並且:彆吃你奶奶那輩還沒有的食物,那麼問題來瞭,那時候有沒有薯條漢堡炸雞呢?
