5 appetites / eat like the animals for a naturally healthy diet
Raubenheimer, David, 1960-2020
Book
How is it that a baboon and a blob of slime mould instinctively know what to eat, yet humans can't seem to figure it out? When and why did we lose the basic knowledge to intuit what foods our body needs, and in what proportions? All organisms trust their appetites to tell them what and how much to eat to ensure good health and reproduction. But unlike other species, the human appetite has gone haywire - we want foods that are terrible for us, and we can't seem monitor our own nutrition levels or our portion sizes. This book provides readers with cutting-edge scientific knowledge of what drives the human appetite for food and how we can take control over what we crave.
