The New York Times bestselling author of Fat Chance explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, documents how processed food has impacted them to ruin our health, economy, and environment over the past 50 years, and proposes an urgent manifesto and strategy to cure both us and the planet.
Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.
You can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what the problem is. One of Lustig’s singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.”
Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them:
• Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itself • You can diagnose your own biochemical profile • Chronic diseases are not ""druggable,"" but they are ""foodable"" • Processed food isn’t just toxic, it’s addictive • The war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side • Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other side
Making the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what’s needed to fix all three.

Fantastiskt bok. Enda nackdelen är att den är nästan helt USA fokuserad.

Att läsa "Metabolical" var både nöjsamt och lärorikt. För någon som har varit medveten om sin kost i många år erbjuder boken en upplysande resa in i vetenskapen bakom optimala kostval. Den ger en klar förståelse för vilka livsmedel man ska välja och vilka man bör undvika, med en grund i stark vetenskaplig bevisning.Det som slog mig mest är bokens antydan om att om din läkare inte är bekant med dess innehåll, kan det vara dags att söka en mer informerad medicinsk åsikt. Detta uttalande understryker bokens betydande inverkan på hälsoperspektiv.Dessutom ställer boken en tankeväckande fråga gällande folkhälsopolitik, särskilt i sammanhanget av beskattning. Den lyfter fram en intressant inkonsekvens: medan alkohol är beskattad, är socker - lika skadligt för hälsan i många aspekter - inte det. Detta väcker en viktig punkt för beslutsfattare och tyder på ett behov av en förändring i regulatoriskt fokus.
