Publisher Description
*The Sunday Times Bestseller*
Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes?
Are vegan diets always healthier?
Is weight the main driver of our health?
No, no and absolutely not - NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight.
In Food Isn't Medicine, he draws on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', unravelling the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat. With candour and compassion, he debunks damaging food myths and dismantles the most pervasive of them all: the myth that your weight defines your 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.

'Joshua brings a much-needed dose of reality - calling out the nonsense, helping you steer away from the empty promises of fad diets and giving you the tools to once again have a healthy relationship with food, your body and life' Dr Tim Crowe
Customer Reviews
Has made my life so much simpler
This book has supported a bit of recent work on myself around body image, health and dieting. It’s made me feel much better about the food I eat (which is fine and healthy) and my slightly increased weight after stopping restricting things (which is also fine and healthy). I’m a counsellor and will definitely recommend it to clients who struggle with their relationship with food. The concept of health at every size is so important and I cringe when I hear people commenting on others weight gain now. Thanks for making life so much simpler for me!
This man is praying on overweight people to make money
This man flies in the face of every piece of evidence out there and uses the publics ignorance and inability to understand studies to create a dangerous narrative. He is using the “fat acceptance” trend to make a name for himself regardless of the harm he is doing to those who follow him.
It’s one thing to have a healthy relationship with food, it’s quite another to ignore the fact that being overweight is dangerous and eating bad ultra processed food is dangerous and increases our risk of being sick.
Instead of this read
Ultra Processed People - Dr Chris Van Tulleken
Conquering Fat Logic - Dr Nadia Hermann
The Gut Stuff - Alana & Lisa Macfarlane
Why we eat too much - Dr Andrew Jenkinson
Spoon Fed - Dr Tim Spector

Unreadable. The download doesn’t work. I just wasted £9.99. I cannot turn a page and get the next one. I’ve tried everything. Closing. Re-opening. Re-sizing text. Changing from print page numbers to digital page numbers. Checking I’ve got the latest version of Apple Books. I have never bought a book with these software problems before. Please, please, please don’t waste your money
