Was it Something You Ate? by John Emsley and Peter Fell The media sends us confusing messages. Chocolate is good for you, chocolate is bad for you. Coffee is bad for you, coffe is good for you. There are also those maddeningly ambiguous labels on our food. Emsley and Fell explain the ups and downs of various foods, nutrients, and drugs. They spend a lot of time explaining the more controversial topics, but cover lesser known food dangers as well.
The information covered in this book is interesting, but it is not presented well. The language is pedantic, the grammar poor. An index is in the back, but it is not nearly inclusive enough. The graphs with examples of various foods are unclear and skimpy. While you can probably find information you want from the book, it will by no means stand out for you.
Informative reading.
