Summary
The ultimate myth-busting nutrition bible.
Registered dietitians Rosie Saunt and Helen West are the founders of The Rooted Project, set up to translate the latest research direct to your plate and make evidence-based nutrition accessible and engaging.
In this book, they explore everything from the danger of anecdotal evidence and unsubstantiated 'facts' about food to the real science behind the nutrients we consume every day. They explain why there's nothing to be feared from fat or carbs, or - for the vast majority of us - the much-maligned gluten, as well as probing the murky depths of the diet industry to explore the latest links between diet culture and weight stigma. They take a deep-dive into gut health, look at the emerging science of the connection between food and mood and examine differences between allergies and intolerances.
This book is both a reference guide and a narrative to relish: it debunks the myths that dominate the food and wellness industry and offers the right tools and knowledge to allow readers to take control of their own health. Evidence-based, body positive and practical, Is Butter a Carb? is the modern must-have nutrition book for everybody interested in food, health and pop science.

Great unbiased introduction to nutrition
Touches upon a broad spectrum of topics, even including things like eating for sustainability and food packaging labels.
A good entry level book for somebody who doesn't have a strong background in nutrition, and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to decide what to eat based on all the information they're bombarded with. Whilst the authors make recommendations for food choices, it also covers a number of other popular health trends and outlines what evidence (if any) backs them as a healthy choice.
Will also give some tools for analysing future health trends that will no doubt crop up and be promoted by influencers.

Just the right level for for everyone
Well narrated. This book presents the info at a level that is easily understood by those with no nutritional knowledge, yet in depth enough for those studying it. Solid information, plenty of studies to reference, and all with a bit of humour.
