Does Coffee Cause Cancer
“Ignoring every headline you ever see about nutrition science is a pretty good plan. If you want to understand why, read this book.”
- DR. YONI FREEDHOFF, Medical Director, Bariatric Medical Institute, Ottawa
In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions and more:
Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Is salt really not that bad for you? Is red wine good for your heart? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Can eating chocolate increase your chance of winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but are now good for you again? And should I be taking vitamin D?
