His research career spanning over three decades has uncovered the genetic basis of various common diseases, challenging prevailing notions that attributed them primarily to ageing and the environment.
Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat in the age of ultra-processed food has never seemed so complicated. Bestselling author and scientist Tim Spector offers clear answers in this definitive, easy-to-follow guide to the new science of eating well. Other findings seem counterintuitive, but are often deliciously reassuring. Two cups of Americano coffee provide more fibre than a banana. You can reheat rice; unopened mussels won’t kill you; and eating meat doesn’t give you cancer (though “replacing 30% of traditional burger meat with mushrooms or fungi would be the equivalent of taking 2m cars off the road”). Some sources of nutrition are more beneficial together, like corn with beans, or “a glass of red wine daily with friends”. Replacing sugar, salt, fat and gluten with weird and untested chemicals is usually pointless and probably dangerous, and the 1980s advice to change butter and cream for margarines and vegetable oils was “one of the biggest health scandals ever”. Both books are by their nature very comprehensive. Both seek out to discuss all types of food, though approaching them from different angles, Saladino with a view to our environment, and Spector with a view to health. Understandably there are quite a few areas of overlap. Combining cutting-edge research with a personal insights, and taking a wide angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector takes a deep dive into each food type. Food for Life also includes easy-to-implement action points and useful tables as practical tools in our everyday food decisions, presented in a novel and comprehensive format. Ultimately, this book encourages us to fall in love again with food and celebrate its many wondrous properties, which science is still only just beginning to understand.Drawing on cutting-edge research and personal insights, Professor Tim Spector offers clear answers in this definitive, easy-to-follow guide to the new science of eating well.

The pandemic should have changed many attitudes towards understanding biology, and Food for Life is the newly scientifically semi-literate person's post-Covid go-to food book... I trust the author and his work.

With his years of experience and engaging writing, he navigates the fascinating and complicated relationship between food and health. A must-read for anyone seeking a respected and trustworthy guide through the murky world of nutrition Dr Rupy Spector is a medic turned professor of epidemiology, though his writing is always clear and hits that balance between not over-complicating the science, nor using language aimed at beginners. However, there is a not so positive aspect revealed as Spector looks into studies and reports health impacts of foods with his epidemiologist hat on. There are still so many don't knows! This man is an expert in his field! Surely we can have some certainty! When we say to each other, "You know what they've come up with now? Only lab grown salmon! Only a theory that certain mushrooms can cure Alzheimer's!" this is who I am picturing for the mysterious "they": a research scientist conducting clinical trials and referring to peer-reviewed papers in trustworthy publications. Instead, we learn that yoghurt trials were funded by Danone, and other trials are too small, or unrepeatable, or fail to rule out other factors influencing the results. And some journals are not that trustworthy! Find out how food choices influence your health, wellbeing, and the environment in 'Food for Life'.

In Food for Life he draws on over a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, along with his own personal insights, to deliver a new and comprehensive approach to what we should all know about food today.
