Food Intelligence: A comprehensive book on food, diet, metabolism and healthy eating
Autor Kevin Hall, PhD, Julia Belluzen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 sep 2025
'Not just one of the best science books I have read, but one of the best books full stop' - Chris van Tulleken, author of ULTRA-PROCESSED PEOPLE
**AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR**
Nutrition isn't rocket science; it's harder.
There are new diet fads, bold claims about superfoods and articles promising the secrets to lasting weight-loss and longevity. The more 'expert' advice we hear about diet, the less clarity we have about what to eat.
In Food Intelligence, award-winning health journalist, Julia Belluz, and internationally renowned nutrition and metabolism scientist, Kevin Hall, cut through the myths about nutrition in a comprehensive book on food and diet, revealing the latest science and research on:
· How protein, fat, carbs and vitamins impact our bodies
· The wonders of metabolism
· Blood sugar trackers and precision nutrition
· How the food environment around us shapes our eating habits
· Ultra-processed and hyper palatable foods
Humane and deeply reported, this journey into the science of what we eat will equip you with the food intelligence you need to better understand what's on your dinner plate, how it got there, and why you eat it.

Recenzii
This is not just one of the best science books I have read, but one of the best books full stop. It's funny, scholarly, and extremely important. Full of piercing observations, it ruthlessly cuts a path through the wilderness of nutritional nonsense that we have been lost in for so long. It is the first and last book anyone really needs to read on this subject. A spectacular piece of writing that manages to be both fascinating and entertaining in equal measure.
Ambitious, wide-ranging and informative. It offers valuable context, lively anecdotes and sharp critiques of common nutrition myths. A powerful message, and one that deserves wider attention.
Junk-food giants hijack your biology. Wellness hucksters sell you false hope. In a food environment rigged against you, this is your guide to fighting back.
A must-read breath of sanity written with great expertise that can improve the health of all of us.
If you are going to read one book about nutrition and health, then make it this one. Food Intelligence is so insightful, so beautifully researched, so fascinating in the telling, that you will finish it - as I did - feeling smarter about what you eat and about yourself as well.
If there were ever two people to turn to understand the complexities of our diet, metabolism, and nutrition - and their role in promoting our health - it would be the noted science journalist Julia Belluz and leading nutritional scientist Kevin Hall. Their landmark book Food Intelligence will make us all smarter about what we eat.
If you want to understand how nutrition became so contentious and why we are still arguing about whether it's better to eat more or less fat, carbohydrates, protein, or vitamins, you must read Food Intelligence. Well-written, historically accurate, and scientifically rigorous, this book brings you up to the moment on contemporary dietary issues.
Food and nutrition are fascinating, complex, and important to every person on earth. This book brings it all alive into a compelling, valuable story of why, what, and how we eat, and how to do better.
[An] extremely valuable contribution to the debate on nutrition and policy. The book's major strength is how comfortable the authors are with ambiguity and nuance. They summarise, with perfectly judged detail, the extent to which we understand calories, energy, and metabolism, the effects of macronutrients, and the range of factors that could play a part in the development of obesity.
