"Biologist Brian J. Ford examines the food-borne diseases that have always been with us, such as Salmonella and E. coli, as well as those that have recently emerged, like Listeriosis and new variant CJD. He reveals many misconceptions in current popular thinking about food, including so-called natural foods, and discusses the role of organic farming. While he advises caution on GM foods, he is enthusiastic about the foods of the future made from new or little-known sources, especially as climate change affects global food production. There are insights on the nutrients that we need for health at different stages of life, on food allergies and intolerances, on the fascinating relationship between food and culture, and on the changing theories about the ideal diet."--Jacket.
