Description: Metabolical by Robert H. Lustig Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "The NYT bestselling author of Fat Chance, Dr. Robert Lustig explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, and how they are not "druggable," but how they are "foodable"-meaning, medication cant cure what nutrition can-by following two basic principles: protect the liver and feed the gut"-- Publisher Description The New York Times bestselling author of Fat Chance explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, documents how processed food has impacted them to ruin our health, economy, and environment over the past 50 years, and proposes an urgent manifesto and strategy to cure both us and the planet.Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government.You cant solve a problem if you dont know what the problem is. One of Lustigs singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to "connect the dots" for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the "real story of food" and "the story of real food." Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itselfYou can diagnose your own biochemical profile Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" Processed food isnt just toxic, its addictiveThe war between vegan and keto is a false war--the combatants are on the same sideBig Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other sideMaking the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains whats needed to fix all three. Author Biography Robert H.
