About this title

Synopsis:

This book will empower you to make healthy, sustainable choices, based on facts, not fads.

Registered dieticians and qualified nutritionists Rosie Saunt and Helen West are the founders of The Rooted Project, set up to translate the latest research direct to your plate, and make evidence-based nutrition accessible and engaging.

In this book, they explore everything from the danger of anecdotal evidence and unsubstantiated 'facts' about food to the real science behind the nutrients we consume every day. They explain why there's nothing to be feared from fat or carbs, or - for the vast majority of us - the much-maligned gluten, as well as the latest research into the links between diet and our DNA. They will probe the murky depths of the diet industry, look at the emerging science of the connection between food and mood, and examine how to eat with allergies and intolerances.

This book will be both a reference guide and a narrative to relish: it will debunk the myths that dominate the food and wellness industry and focus on offering up the right tools and knowledge to allow readers to take control of their own health. Evidence-based, body positive and practical, The Rooted Project will be the modern must-have nutrition book for everybody interested in food, health and pop science.
