Metabolical

The Truth About Processed Food and How It Poisons People and the Planet

By: Dr Robert Lustig

Narrated by: Charles Constant

It's not what you eat that's damaging your health; it's how that food is 'made'. The truth behind ultra-processed food that the food industry doesn't want you to know.

Did you know that 62 per cent of the food in our supermarkets is not only processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?

In the hard-hitting, groundbreaking tradition of his NY Times best seller Fat Chance, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not true.

The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to unprocessed food, and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and restore our own health and well-being with real food, and in the process boosting our immunity to viruses like COVID-19.

An imperative read

This was my first book on nutrition, but it’s so much more. In depth and comprehensible Physiology and cellular biochemistry, mixed with a practical yet basic overview of modern economics and politics as it relates to the food industry. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed listening.

Dr Lustig's impressive research into food science and health

I'm a big fan of Dr Lustig's impressive research into food science and health. His straight talking ways in mostly easy to understand language make the book easy to understand and keep listening to. My 5 stars are for the topic of the book. I find it a shame that he chose to push his superstition for global warming, demonising the plant food of carbon dioxide. Same for his misunderstanding of viruses and the covid scamdemic. It's best that writers stick to their topic of research and not risk discrediting themselves by wandering off topic.
