Food is the best medicine, believes genetics expert Tim Spector, but most of the dietary advice that we are given is wrong, he claims. In his latest bestselling book, Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We\u2019ve Been Told About Food Is Wrong, he argues that the most dangerous myth of all about food is the assumption that we all respond to the same foods in the same way and the food industry's oversimplified approach to diet. For this discussion, Tim is joined by Dan\xa0Saladino, the award-winning food writer and broadcaster. Dan's new book, Eating to Extinction: The World\u2019s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them, is a love letter to the world\u2019s great food traditions and a wake-up call to protect the planet\u2019s genetic biodiversity.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
