Recommendation

Do you understand the complex inner workings of an airplane black box? Most people don’t. Likewise, many don’t know why they struggle with sleep, feel sluggish or get migraines. Biochemist Jessie Inchauspé rigorously distills complex food science concepts into layperson’s terms to help you understand the effects of the food you eat. She urges you to ditch counting calories or eating “fat-free” foods and, instead, focus on the metric that shapes your health the most: your glucose levels. Forget most of the nutrition advice marketers have fed you and take control of your health journey today.

Take-Aways

  • A lack of nutritional knowledge has harmed most Americans’ metabolic health.
  • Plants create glucose during photosynthesis, storing it as starch, fiber, sucrose, and fructose.
  • Evolution can explain — at least in part — why you crave sugary snacks.
