Note(s) : Index
A Feast of Science demystifies the chemistry of everyday life, serving up practical
knowledge to both inform and entertain. Guaranteed to satiate your hunger for palatable
and relevant scientific information, Dr. Joe Schwarcz proves that "chemical" is not
necessarily synonymous with "toxic." Are there fish genes in tomatoes? Can snail-slime
cream and bone broth really make your wrinkles disappear? What's the problem with
sugar, resistant starch, hops in beer, microbeads, and "secret" cancer cures? Are
"natural" products the key to good health? And what is "fake news" all about? Dr.
Joe answers these questions and more. Cutting through the fat of story, suggestion,
and social-media speculation, A Feast of Science gets to the meat of the chemical
reactions that make up our daily lives
