In 'Metabolical', Dr. Robert Lustig explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic diseases and documents how processed food has negatively impacted health, economy, and the environment over the past 50 years. He challenges the current healthcare paradigm influenced by Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. Lustig argues that food is the key to biochemical change and health improvement, emphasizing the importance of protecting the liver and feeding the gut. He also highlights the global environmental impact of processed food and offers practical solutions for healthier dietary choices and policy changes to promote sustainability and health[1][3][5].
In this book, Nina Teicholz presents a nine-year-long investigation into the history and science of dietary fat. She argues that the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has been based on weak, inconclusive evidence and has led to disastrous health consequences. Teicholz documents how misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why traditional foods like meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs are safe and beneficial for health, contrary to long-held dietary dogma.
The Vegetarian tells the story of Yeong-hye, a young South Korean woman who, after having vivid and disturbing dreams about animal slaughter, decides to stop eating meat. This decision sets off a chain of events that disrupts her marriage and family life, leading to a spiral of violence, abuse, and mental deterioration. The novel is narrated in three parts, each from the perspective of different characters: Yeong-hye's husband, her brother-in-law, and her sister. It explores themes of desire, shame, empathy, and the struggle for individuality in a society that values conformity. The book is a critique of the societal pressures and expectations that can lead to the erosion of personal autonomy and mental health.
