'Metabolical lays bare the depth of the relationship between the recent and profound perversion of the human diet and its overwhelming health consequences.' Dr David Perlmutter, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Grain Brain and Brain Wash
Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in nature)?
Did you know data shows that by eating this kind of food over time we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?
In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times bestseller FAT CHANCE, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not true.
The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to unprocessed food and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and restore our own health and wellbeing with real food, and in the process boosting our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.

The book is divided into five main parts, containing a total of 28 chapters. Dr. Lustig covers a wide variety of topics, from problems with modern medicine, to nutritional fallacies, to issues with food production and FDA regulations. There is really so much information contained in this book that it is hard to summarize. With each topic though, Dr. Lustig comes off as somewhat angry and frustrated, and in some instances almost seems like a conspiracy theorist. He does make very convincing arguments though, and references data in well documented sources on his website. His experience as a doctor that has seen the same issues in his patients for so many years, is evident in the sense of urgency in his writing.
I can look past the somewhat abrasive delivery, and appreciate the amount of information contained in this book. This took me a while to get through, and I wouldn't exactly describe it as a “fun” read, but there really is a ton of valuable info here, with even more references on the website.



I found that in this book his stole of writing makes for a comfortable reading experience as well as I’ve already been delving into the inconsistencies of the food industry’s and he is and has delightfully ounce again added to my knowledge of both the science of endocrinology and the interesting past of many big box name companies but I mainly like the tips on how to read labels as well as the knowledge of what there adulterating our foods with and tips. I trust his work and I believe he no what he’s talking about as well as it’s a most pleasant time to spend some of my fre time with.
A very well done and orchestrated book by the doc in my opinion.
Would recommend to anyone looking for these things as well as looking to improve there overall eating experience overall in the sense of better health as well as tips on why your doctor only has very little time to spend with you and tips with that ass well
