Cheese puffs. Coffee. Sunscreen. Vapes. George Zaidan reveals what will kill you, what won't, and why-- explained with humor, hijinks, and other things that don't begin with the letter H.
What The Reviewers Say
... a highly entertaining and deceptively sophisticated book.
... instead of offering up faddish nutritional spin, or dishing out sanctimonious vagaries like, 'Eat real food,' Zaidan does something different—and much more worthwhile. He guides you through how scientists assess the risks and safety of chemicals: how they establish the links between health effects and their causes, and how they sometimes get it wrong.
A skilled science communicator, Zaidan presents his findings with humor and accessible language.
... takes the reader on a lively tour of the best and worst of nutritional epidemiology.
