Spoon-Fed

  • The #1 Sunday Times bestseller that shows why almost everything we’ve been told about food is wrong

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

*AS SEEN ON ITV'S THIS MORNING AND BBC MORNING LIVE**

The groundbreaking bestseller from Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth and creator of the COVID Symptom Study app.

'A hugely enjoyable and critical look at common food myths' Michael Mosley

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
Is there any point in counting calories?
Is there any evidence that coffee is bad for us?

Through his pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector busts these and many other myths about food. Spoon-Fed explores the scandalous lack of good science behind many diet plans, official recommendations and miracle cures, and encourages us to rethink our whole relationship with food - not just for our health as individuals, but for the future of the planet.

Reviews

  • The nutrition revolution is well underway and Tim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely.

    Yotam Ottolenghi

  • Will actually help you decide what to add to your next grocery shop... This is one of the clearest and most accessible short nutrition books I have read: refreshingly open-minded, deeply informative and free of faddish diet rules.

    Bee Wilson, Guardian

  • Dispelling decades of misinformation...Spoon-Fed is a fascinating read.

    Tony Turnbull, The Times

  • A remarkable book... It's a smoothie-dropping read.

    Michael Odell, The Times

  • Spoon-Fed is the gastro-science literature flavour of the month.

    Niall Toner, Sunday Times
