Mozaffarian, Dariush

Food should nourish us, but instead it’s making us sick: from obesity and diabetes to heart disease, cancer, and poor mental health. As cardiologist and public health expert Dariush Mozaffarian shows, the problem isn’t how much we eat – it’s what we eat too little of: the foods that heal, protect and restore the body and mind. Cutting through widespread confusion and misinformation, he reveals astonishing new discoveries about how food truly affects our health, our biology, and even our longevity. Harnessing the power of the right foods, he shows, can do more than prevent illness; it can treat disease, extend life, and reduce the staggering human and economic costs of ill health. This work maps the path forward, from transforming our own diets to reshaping what grows on our farms and reaches our stores and our plates.
