Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat has never seemed so complicated.
In Food for Life Tim Spector draws on over a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, along with his own personal insights, to deliver a new and comprehensive guide to what we should all know about food today.
Taking a wide-angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand.
Food for Life provides practical insights and a new approach on how to eat for our health and the health of the planet.
This number one sunday times bestseller, encourages us to question every diet plan, official recommendation, miracle cure or food label we encounter, and rethink our whole relationship with food.
Tim pays special attention to the scandalous lack of good science behind many medical and government food recommendations, and how the food industry holds sway over these policies and our choices. Much of the current advice about food and nutrition is dangerously inaccurate, misleading and often downright wrong. These are urgent issues that matter not just for our health as individuals but for the future of the planet.

If we are to combat the epidemic of obesity and health problems, we need a fundamental change in how we view food, diets, and the hidden microbial world inside our bodies.
The Diet Myth is a book which draws on Tim’s research into microbes, genetics, and diet.
The book describes our physiological relationship with food to dispel many prevalent myths and pseudo-science surrounding faddish diets. Tim explains that due to the way we change our attitudes to food over the last few decades, we are no longer exposed to the very microbes that are an essential part of our physiology.
At a time when an increasing proportion of the world’s population is suffering from obesity and its related health issues, Tim Spector offers an important and fascinating perspective on this global epidemic.
This book discusses how minor life events and the choices we make, as well as those made by our ancestors, fuse with our inherited genes to mould us into individuals. Contrary to recent scientific teaching – nothing is completely hard-wired or pre-ordained
Using identical twins, Tim Spector shows how even real-life “clones” with the same upbringing turn out to be very different.
