Penguin Putnam Inc In Defense of Food An Eaters Manifesto
Book Synopsis#1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what we’re consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means

Oxford University Press, USA Good Food for Bad Stomachs
Book SynopsisWe are a culture increasingly obsessed with food and health, and with the possible relationship between the two. Yet everywhere we look we see conflicting opinions and advice about the role of food in health. We are inundated by books, T.V. specials, magazine and newspaper articles - so much so that people have begun to ignore today''s recommendations of health experts, knowing that today''s fad will be gone tomorrow.In Good Food for Bad Stomachs, Dr, Henry Janowitz shares this healthy skepticism about some of these news stories and sets out to make sense of the many research reports and claims, to sort out fact from opinion, and to suggest a sensible diet for those of us who have gastorintestinal complaints and for those of us who do not. He asks two central questions which shape the content and spirit of the book: Is there an ideal diet and is there a consensus on what the ideal diet might contain? And most important to his patients, what do we know about the role of our eating habits in preventing, causing, and treating the many disorders which plague our gastrointestinal tract and its associated digestive glands--the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas? Dr. Janowitz does believe we are what we eat, and the good news is that we can prevent many of our modern diseases by adhering to simple guidelines that are built on solid evidence and the insights of a master clinician who has spent a lifetime listening, treating, and healing patients.Trade ReviewGood Food for Bad Stomachs, authored by an expert in the study of digestive disorders for more than one-half century, is the best book on the subject yet written and is highly recommended for everyone with even a casual interest in food and health."--Joseph B. Kirsner, M.D., Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine, The University of Chicago "This easily readable yet authoritative volume blends Dr. Janowitz's lifetime of clinical experience and scholarship with his delicious wit, his plain common sense, and his unerring instinct for addressing the most important concerns on the minds of his patients."--David B. Sachar, M.D., The Dr. Burrill B. Crohn Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Gastroenterology, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York "In this fine new compendium, Dr. Janowitz gives people practical guidance out of his vast experience. He is informal, fair and candid, and his words are easily digestible. Every reader will come away with a better understanding of what to eat and why."--Howard Spiro, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine Good Food for Bad Stomachs, authored by an expert in the study of digestive disorders for more than one-half century, is the best book on the subject yet written and is highly recommended for everyone with even a casual interest in food and health."--Joseph B.

Oxford University Press Hedonic Eating
Book SynopsisOvereating and obesity are on the rise. Despite public health warnings, availability of diet books and programs, and the stigma associated with obesity, many people find it difficult to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. While there are many books on the topic of caloric or need-based eating, obesity and overeating can also result from eating that is not driven by hunger. Recent research found that excess food intake is largely driven by the palatability of food and the pleasure derived from eating. Hedonic Eating: How the Pleasure of Food Affects Our Brain and Behavior will appeal to scientists, medical doctors, psychologists, counselors and students taking specialized courses that cover appetite. It will also appeal to the general public intersted in learning more about topics, including brain reward-related mechanisms associated with food intake, eating behaviors resulting from these changes in the brain, obesity, and overeating, and science-based approaches to combat the cTable of ContentsForward ; Preface ; Acknowledgements ; Chapter 1.

Oxford University Press, USA The Psychology of Flavour
Book SynopsisFlavour is arguably the most fascinating aspect of eating and drinking. It utilises a complex variety of senses and processes, that incredibly work together to generate a unified, and hopefully pleasurable, experience. The processes involved are not just those involved in tasting at the time of eating, but also memory and learning processes - we obviously shun those foods of which we have a negative memory, and favour those we enjoy. Our understanding of the science of flavour has improved in recent years, benefiting psychology, cuisine, food science, oenology, and dietetics.This book describes what is known about the psychology and biology of flavour. Written by an authority in the field, it is divided into two parts. The first explores what we know about the flavour system; including the role of learning and memory in flavour perception and hedonics; the way in which all the senses that contribute to flavour interact, and our ability to perceive flavour as a whole and as a series of Trade ReviewIt presents the richness and depth of the somewhat scattered research together in an intriguing manner. There has been no work published that is so comprehensive and clear in its presentation. * Perception *Table of Contents1.

Little, Brown Spark Grain Brain
Book Synopsis The devastating truth about the effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain, with a 4-week plan to achieve optimum health. In Grain Brain, renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, exposes a finding that''s been buried in the medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. Even so-called healthy carbs like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, decreased libido, and much more. Groundbreaking and timely, Grain Brain shows that the fate of your brain is not in your genes. It''s in the food you eat. The cornerstone of all degenerative conditions, including brain disorders, is inflammation, which can be triggered by carbs, especially containing gluten or high in sugar. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, how statin drugs may be erasing your memory, why a diet high in good fats is ideal, and

Taylor & Francis Ltd Men and the War on Obesity
Book SynopsisIs obesity really a public health problem and what does the construction of obesity as a health problem mean for men?According to official statistics, the majority of men in nations such as England and the USA are overweight or obese. Public health officials, researchers, governments and various agencies are alarmed and have issued dire warnings about a global obesity epidemic'. This perceived threat to public health seemingly legitimates declarations of war against what one US Surgeon General called the terror within'. Yet, little is known about weight-related issues among everyday men in this context of symbolic or communicated violence. Men and the War on Obesity is an original, timely and controversial study. Using observations from a mixed-sex slimming club, interviews with men whom medicine might label overweight or obese and other sources, this study urges a rethink of weight or fat as a public health issue and sometimes private trouble. RTrade Review"This book is an important contribution to debate and should be required reading for policy makers and health professionals in the obesity business." Professor Chris Shilling, University of Kent, UK"Thoroughly researched and skilfully written, Lee Monaghan's study of men's slimming draws attention to the long-ignored challenges that men face in the context of body weight and size. It is an excellent contribution to social scientific studies of embodiment, masculinity and narrative accounts. Indeed, it fills a glaring gap in the existing literature."Dr Debra Gimlin, University of Aberdeen, UK"Lee Monaghan brings to bear the sort of critical sociological perspective on the war on fat that has been a hallmark of the best gender studies, but which has to this point been largely absent from discussions of "obesity". This book asks and helps answer a fascinating and important question: What does it mean, in contemporary Western society, to be a man who risks being stigmatized as overweight, obese or too fat?"Professor Paul Campos, University of Colorado, USATable of Contents1.
