Tim Spector

¿La sal es tan mal para la salud como nos cuentan? ¿y el pescado tan bueno? ¿Hacer ejercicio adelgaza? ¿El desayuno es realmente la comida más importante del día? ¿Es bueno eliminar el gluten de la dieta? ¿Hay alguna evidencia que el cafe sea malo para la salud?A traves de su investigacion cientifica pionera, Tim Spector acaba con estos mitos y debate las noticias falsas sobre los alimentos. Alimentarse sin engaños explora la escandalosa falta de base cientifica que hay detras de muchas recomendaciones dieteticas tanto medicas como gubernamentales, y como la industria alimentaria domina estas politicas y nuestras elecciones.

¿Por qué fracasan la mayoría de las dietas? ¿Por qué una persona que come un determinado alimento aumenta de peso mientras otra que come lo mismo adelgaza? ¿Por qué, pese a todos los consejos sobre que hemos de comer, seguimos engordando?Las respuestas son mucho mas sorprendentes y fascinantes de lo que nos habian hecho creer. La clave de la salud y el adelgazamiento no esta en la ultima dieta de moda, ni siquiera en la consigna simplista de comer menos y hacer mas ejercicio, sino en los microbios que ya tenemos dentro.Basandose en los ultimos conocimientos cientificos y en sus propias y punteras investigaciones, Tim Spector desmitifica las habituales ideas erroneas sobre las grasas, las calorias, las vitaminas y los nutrientes. Solo si entendemos lo que hace funcionar a nuestros microbios, podremos superar la confusion de la nutricion moderna y tener un intestino y un cuerpo sanos.

'The Diet Myth is fascinating, and now I'm obsessed with microbes!' Nigella Lawson Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.

Spectors pioneering epigenetics studies, and the latest genetic research, show that our genes are more like plastic, able to change shape and evolve, and these changes can be passed on to future generations.This dazzling guide to the hidden world of our genes will make you rethink everything from sexuality to religion, cancer to autism, politics to pubic hair, clones to bacteria, and what it is that makes us all so unique and quintessentially human.Tim Spectors book turns genetics on its head. Lucid, surprising and with a very human face. It brings epigenetics alive. It is a great read! Michael Mosley

¿La sal es tan mal para la salud como nos cuentan? ¿y el pescado tan bueno? ¿Hacer ejercicio adelgaza? ¿El desayuno es realmente la comida más importante del día? ¿Es bueno eliminar el gluten de la dieta? ¿Hay alguna evidencia que el cafe sea malo para la salud?A traves de su investigacion cientifica pionera, Tim Spector acaba con estos mitos y debate las noticias falsas sobre los alimentos. Alimentarse sin engaños explora la escandalosa falta de base cientifica que hay detras de muchas recomendaciones dieteticas tanto medicas como gubernamentales, y como la industria alimentaria domina estas politicas y nuestras elecciones.

Post Darwin, de Tim Spector, es un libro sobre evolucionismo que rebate a Darwin y que demuestra científicamente que no estamos predestinados por nuestros genes. Post Darwin analiza los distintos genes como el de la felicidad, el del talento; el del deporte, el de la musica, el de la actividad intelectual, el de la paternidad, el de la maldad, el de la obesidad, el del cancer, el gay, el de la fidelidad y la sexualidad... Ademas, contiene una solida base teorica y numerosos casos practicos que nos permite extraer conclusiones claras y relevantes sobre genetica. Tim Spector es director del Twins UK Registry, una de las bases de datos geneticos mas importante del mundo.¿Tenemos mas control sobre nuestro destino genetico del que podriamos pensar o, segun la teoria de Darwin, los genes se heredan y no se pueden cambiar? ¿La depresion, el cancer o la homosexualidad se transmiten necesariamente de padres a hijos? Un libro interesante, provocador, con la dosis justa de informacion cientifica que despertara el interes del publico lector.
