Joe Schwarcz
(Oneworld Publications, £9.99)
Does green tea encourage weight loss? Can acai berries prevent cancer? Conflicting diet claims can make it difficult to know what to believe. In this handy guide to food science, Professor Schwarcz examines the clinical research behind the hype and explains the chemistry of the foods we eat, from blueberries to curry. This book will tell you the truth about everyday foods, preservatives and contaminants, and how they affect your health. An entertaining read that will debunk food myths for good.
