Registered Dietitian-approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Dr Mark Hyman is one of the few consistently accurate experts on evidence-based nutrition, who is a badly needed, fearlessly strong, voice against Big Food. And an even stronger voice advocating for the health of our country. I trust him because he does not shill fake information to make money. He is not a sell out. He’s the real deal.
His evidence-based reference section is 30 pages long, & about 19 references per page. Perfect for arguing science to those who insist that reading only headlines, & social media, are accurate sources of nutrition information.
It is clearly indexed on 12 specific food groups (meat, poultry/eggs, milk/dairy, fish/seafood, vegetables, fruit, fats/oils, beans, grains, nuts/seeds, sugar/sweeteners & beverages). In each food group he discusses the science, what the experts got right & wrong about the food group, what we still don’t know for sure, things you should know about the food group & what you should eat/avoid in that food group.
After those sections, he further patiently spells out what to keep out of your food. In case you haven’t already gotten the idea in Part II.
He goes into a 10 day detox diet, & provides a meal plan & fabulous recipes. His recipes are the best; They’re delicious & healthy. Tonight I’m making his herb-marinated chicken breasts.
I pre-ordered & got the book the day it dropped. Already I’ve highlighted & bookmarked half of it. I used it today @ work, while teaching my diabetes class, to answer a question about raw milk (p. 89).
Dr. Hyman, thank you for another great book. You keep out-doing yourself. And I use your Blood Sugar Solution recipes weekly.
