Editorial Reviews

The pandemic should have changed many attitudes towards understanding biology, and Food for Lifeis the newly scientifically semi-literate person's post-Covid go-to food book...I trust the author and his work. ― The Times, *Book of the Week*

Appealingly, Spector writes as a food lover... Every person's ideal diet is different, and should be based on sensible choices from a position of knowledge. Food for Life is a feast of that knowledge... Bullet-pointed tips at the end of each chapter and an appendix of food tables make it a valuable reference book to keep on a kitchen shelf. ―Guardian

[A] weighty and detailed guide to modern living... [Spector] explains how to boost your microbiome and tailor your diet. ― Sunday Times, *Books of the Year*

A fascinating tour d'horizon, deftly drawing on recent research... Well written [and] informative.―Literary Review

Spector has been exploding the myths around food and health for years... Here he continues the demolition job in a rigorously academic book that welcomes the layperson with open arms. ―The Times, *Books of the Year*

The nutrition revolution is well underway andTim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely. — Yotam Ottolenghi - praise for SPOON-FED
