About the Book

Ever wonder what those nutrition labels actually mean? Why are the items listed important to your health? How do you know what you should be eating to improve your health, especially with headlines claiming one thing and then another? In Made to Measure, you'll get an in-depth look at how science measures the common, and not so common, items listed on nutrition labels on food packages. Contrary to popular belief -- and practice -- nutritional "facts" of the actual content of nutrients found in the foods you buy are actually not as clear-cut as they seem. They are more like approximate guidelines for getting the nutrients your body needs. Tips for how to navigate this uncertainty are given. Following this, the book covers the essential macronutrients (fat, carbohydrates, fibre and protein), why you need them, and how there's more to the story for each group. Next, micronutrients are covered, going beyond just those we're most familiar with -- sodium, calcium and iron -- to examine why we need these micronutrients (minerals, vitamins and antioxidants) and where to get them in your diet. Finally, a few things to avoid are covered, from toxic metals to organic contaminants to radiation. The final section also shows how to improve your health for each of these groups.Jesse Carrie, Ph.D., has over 20 years of experience in chemistry and chemical analysis across a range of fields from food and water, mining, and the fossil fuel and nuclear industries. He is the author of 9 scientific journal articles, 3 book chapters and numerous reports. As someone with Celiac disease and other food allergies and sensitivities, Jesse has completely transformed his health by changing his diet. You can find out more at drjessecarrie.com.
