Episode: The metabolism myth
The book addressed the mystery of metabolism head-on, aiming to better understand this process which the speaker had previously taken for granted.
So she decided to write a book. It's called Food Intelligence. It comes out later this month. And in the book, she takes the mystery of metabolism head on.
One of the scientists that I spoke to in reporting this book, he says, metabolism converts everything we eat into everything we are and everything we do.
We have this line in the book, it's not about metabolism, stupid.
If you want to read more about metabolism and all kinds of food science, Julia's book, which she co-wrote with Kevin Hall, Food Intelligence, the Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms Us, is out next week.
