Summary
Eat salmon, it's full of good omega-3 fats, or don't eat salmon, it's full of PCBs and mercury. Schwarcz takes his thorough knowledge of food chemistry and applies it to today's top food fears, trends and questions. The result is… a description of the miracles of science happening in our bodies every time we eat, and an exploration of the myths, claims and misconceptions surrounding our obsession with diets, nutrition and weight. 2007.
