Mýty na talíři - Proč téměř všechno, co se říká o jídle, není pravda – Spector Tim (2023)

How to eat well, not hurt yourself — and above all, not go crazy Just open social networks or a popular magazine and a flood of dietary recommendations or guaranteed diet tricks rushes at us. Eat breakfast this way, drink this many times a day, skip breakfast altogether, sugar is evil, coffee is good, but only at certain times of the day, a glass of wine a day is beneficial or maybe harmful... Each person expects something different from changing their eating habits — some want to lose weight, others want to gain muscle, many people use diets to address their health problems, and even more just want to try living according to the latest trends. But how to make sense of them when there are so many and more keep appearing? "Myths on a Plate" by renowned scientist and nutrition expert Tim Spector dissects these trendy diets one by one and shows that often, rather than science, marketing, folk beliefs, or government programs stand behind them. Therefore, we should think about food differently than in terms of strict rules or miraculous tricks — eating is far more important for a person than it may seem.
