Meget af det, vi spiser, er mere kemi end mad. Men hvorfor spiser vi det så? Denne internationale bestseller har de rystende svar og giver os noget at tænke over.For første gang i historien stammer hovedparten af vores kalorier nu fra ultraforarbejdede fødevarer. Emulgatorer, stabilisatorer, aromastoffer, farvestoffer og modificeret stivelse lyder ikke som ingredienser til et lækkert måltid, men syntetiske stoffer som dem findes i 50-60 procent af de madvarer, vi sætter til livs her i den vestlige verden.De ultraforarbejdede fødevarer er designet, så vi bliver afhængige af dem og kommer til at overspise, og markedsføringen skubber på. Men vi kan ikke tåle dem. Ny forskning viser, at ultraforarbejdet mad er hovedårsag til en lang række livsstilssygdomme og alt for tidlig død.Chris van Tulleken, britisk tv-læge og forsker, fortæller med udgangspunkt i den seneste forskning om en kynisk fødevareindustri og dens produkter, der ødelægger vores sundhed. Han skriver personligt og engageret om, hvordan den ultraforarbejdede mad snyder hjernen og kroppen, så vi får lyst til mere uden at få den næring, vi har brug for.Resultatet er en medrivende, letlæselig bog om en kompleks trussel mod vores sundhed, der alt for længe er gået under radaren – også herhjemme.

206 bones. One heart. Two eyes. Ten fingers. You may think you know what makes up a human. But it turns out our bodies are full of surprises.
