THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The ground-breaking exploration of food myths from what we should be eating for breakfast to whether we should really avoid ultra-processed foods.

'Will actually help you decide what to add to your next grocery shop' Bee Wilson, Guardian

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
Is there any point in counting calories?
Is there any evidence that coffee is bad for us?

Through his pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector busts these and many other myths about food. Spoon-Fed explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many diet plans, official recommendations and miracle cures, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food - not just for our health as individuals, but for the future of the planet.
