An Apple A Day: The Myths, Misconceptions and Truths About the Food We Eat by Schwarcz, Joseph (2010) Paperback

The media is full of advice about what we should eat and warnings about what we shouldn't. Sometimes the same food makes it onto both lists. What should you believe - and how much of what you hear can you trust? In "An Apple a Day", bestselling author and chemistry professor, Joseph Schwarcz dispels the confusion and applies his knowledge of food chemistry to today's top food trends. With a healthy dose of humour, he also looks at the real science behind losing weight and cuts through the misconceptions that surround many popular fad diets.
