- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2021Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseDr Richard Hoffman explains the science behind the Mediterranean Diet in a systematic way and with great authority. The book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in evidence based nutrition, and certainly should be on the curriculum for any health professionals who want to be able to describe the proven benefits of the diet to their patients. The narrative is compelling as the chapters describe the harms of industrial methods of food production and contrasts this with a sustainable agricultural model in the Mediterranean Diet. An excellent book. Thoroughly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2022Format: PaperbackThis fascinating 'tour de force' is a fruit of Richard Hoffman’s extensive teaching and research experience as a nutritionist, as well as his work in the fields of cancer biology and the use of natural products for preventing and treating disease. The fifteen chapters of this 450 page treatise cover a comprehensive range of key topics, including the building blocks of a healthy diet, the health risks of the increasing reliance on industrialised ultra processed foods (UPFs) and junk food, the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, the carbon cycle and greenhouse gases, sustainable farming, and agroecology. In every respect a comprehensively researched academic text, with hundreds of cited sources and references, and an extensive index, Hoffman’s style of writing is very engaging and convivial, and scattered with memorable aphorisms (e.g. “the colon is the compost heap of the body”, “out of the fryer and into the fire”). The chapters on the specifics of the Mediterranean diet - chapter 12 on key ingredients and food groups and chapter 13 on home cooking - provide useful practical guidelines, including one dear to my own heart, on the benefits of red wine (in moderation, of course, and with food).
In my opinion, this book is such a valuable resource that it should be required reading on the curricula of all courses in nutrition and food science.
