About this listen
In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol?
Should I be taking vitamin D?

Fun way to talk about important health misinformation
I was disappointed when the book ended. I could have easily listened to a few more chapters. His idea to write a fictional story about chance encounters with people to discuss important health information combines my love of fiction with my need to discover the truth about health claims. He breaks down complicated statistical interpretations into easy to understand analogies. Making this book approachable to a wide audience. I’m hoping there is a book 2 that follows up on the romance and clarifies more myths! Now it’s time for me to have some dark chocolate and a cup of coffee. Not because they are good for me but because I enjoy both.
