Summary:

Food Fix Uncensored is not a diet book--it's a wake-up call. Dr. Mark Hyman exposes how a food system designed for profit, not health, is driving chronic disease and harming the planet. He reveals how Big Food, Big Agriculture, and Big Pharma manipulate what we eat and questions the "normal" health problems Americans face. Combining investigative reporting with nutritional science, this fully revised edition gives readers the tools to reclaim control over their health and their food. After reading, you'll never look at your meals--or the system behind them--the same way again.

"A "roadmap to reclaiming our vitality" from the powerful web of corporate interests hijacking our food, our health, and our future (Dr. Casey Means, author of Good Energy). Today, over 60% of Americans are living with chronic disease, 385 of children are overweight or obese, and 50 million people die each year from heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Meanwhile, we are ever more addicted to the calorie-dense, nutrient-poor, ultraprocessed foods that now make up over 60% of the Standard American Diet. This is no accident, says #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman; it results from the powerful web of corporations and lobbyists working tirelessly to keep us trapped in a food system designed to consolidate wealth and power at the expense of the American public. In this revised and updated edition of his groundbreaking book, Hyman reveals how we can kick our addiction to ultraprocessed foods, reverse the epidemic of chronic disease, and make America healthier again. Pairing the latest developments in nutritional science with an unflinching look at the dark realities of the global food system and the corporate interests that seek to corrupt it, Food Fix Uncensored is a hard-hitting manifesto that will change the way you think about-and eat-food forever"-- Provided by publisher.
