Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes? Are vegan diets always healthier? Is weight the main driver of our health?

No, no and absolutely not.

In  Food Isn't Medicine, NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich looks to set the record straight on the misinformation surrounding nutrition, diet, weight, and health. Drawing on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', Joshua unravels the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat.

With candour and compassion, Joshua cuts through the confusion surrounding healthy eating, debunks persistent food myths and challenges one of the biggest misconceptions of all: that body weight alone determines health.

If you have ever considered intermittent fasting, avoided artificial sweeteners, dairy or carbs for 'health' reasons, or struggled through diet after diet wondering why nothing seems to work, this book will be a powerful wake-up call.

It's time to leave the nutribollocks behind and discover what the science really says about food, nutrition and health.

‘This book is exactly what we need right now.’ Lucy Bee

‘No-nonsense health advice that's actually helpful.’ Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet

‘A must-read for those wanting to unlearn the toxic ideologies and beliefs we have been taught about ourselves by the diet industry!' Stephanie Yeboah

A voice of reason in a field of fake news. Honesty, integrity and compassion shine through everything he writes. The only medical doctor I've ever allowed on my timeline.
