The Sunday Times Bestseller

Overwhelming evidence indicates plant-based eating is the healthy way forward, both for people and the planet.

This is simple, flexible, and scientifically rigorous advice.

Covering every conceivable topic—from the power of 30 plants and embracing the rainbow, through the role of gut bacteria in mental and physical health, to plant-based for kids, taking supplements, which oil you should use, which cooking method is healthiest, and plant-based processed foods—this book offers clear answers supported by informative graphics.

The Science of Plant-based Nutrition demystifies the hottest topics in healthy eating so you can embrace plant-based living with the maximum benefits.
