Was It Something You Ate?
Food intolerance: what causes it and how to avoid it.
John Emsley and Peter Fell
'Was It Something You Ate?' explains how food intolerance can be the result of overloading the body with naturally occurring food chemicals and toxins.
The food chemicals covered include amines, salicylates, caffeine, sulfur, msg and lectins.
A chapter on natural toxins will introduce you to, among many others, mad honey disease, mushroom and mold toxins. There are also sections on food additives and advice on vitamins. In addition there are chapters on alcohol and on the important role the gut has to play.
John Emsley (a science writer and chemist) and Peter Fell (a UK doctor) do an excellent job in presenting the evidence and explaining how food chemicals and toxins lead to health problems.
The book is clearly written and easy to read. An absolute must for anyone concerned about food chemicals. Highly recommended.
