Metabolical: Uncovering the Deceptions of Processed Foods, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine investigates the intricate interactions between our contemporary diet, the food sector, and the healthcare system in this thought-provoking and eye-opening book. The book, written by Dr. Thomas E. James, a specialist in metabolic disorders and obesity, illuminates the risks of processed foods and their contribution to the present health crisis.
Dr. Thomas presents a thorough examination of how the food business has changed over the last century, from the early days of home cooking to the emergence of processed and packaged foods, drawing on his considerable research and clinical experience. He explains how the food business has benefited from our inherent predisposition to want sugar, salt, and fat by utilizing clever marketing strategies to make unhealthy foods seem appealing and practical.
The central claim of Metabolically is that the chronic illnesses that affect our society today, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, are mostly caused by our contemporary diet, which is abundant in processed foods and poor in nutrients. Dr. Thomas describes how a variety of metabolic issues that may have a long-term negative impact on our health arise because our systems are ill-equipped to manage the excessive amounts of sugar, salt, and fat contained in processed foods.
Metabolical, however, is more than simply an attack on the food business. Dr. Thomas criticizes the healthcare system as being unprepared to deal with the underlying causes of metabolic illness. He pushes for a more comprehensive approach to healthcare that stresses preventive and behavioral changes and exposes the inadequacies of present medical therapies like prescription medications and bariatric surgery.
