Trade Review
This is a really important book - identifying one of the most alarming ways that our poor diet hurts us. Our brains are as severely affected as our bodies. Packed with science, hope and a clear demand for much needed change. * Chris van Tulleken *
A powerful book that breaks down the dangerous beliefs that food is just fuel and delivers an important message we can all get behind - eat for your body and your brain! With a mental health crisis on our hands and over 50% of our diets coming from UPFs the evidence Kimberley presents in this book will change lives and hopefully policy. * Professor Tim Spector *
Kimberley Wilson kick-starts a hugely important conversation that not many are having. A powerful read. Everybody needs to read this book. * Fearne Cotton *
Marks a transformation in our thinking about diets. With luck it may one day make our brains better, a development that is long overdue... an essential and urgent read. * Sunday Times *
