Why write this book?

Why?

One of my interests is learning about human nutrition and metabolism, especially as they inform health and longevity. In our modern era, numerous factors affect our health and longevity such as food contaminated with xenobiotic chemicals, environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity, the corporate agricultural system, types of nutrition, as well as the rise of various non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type-2 diabetes and dementia.

​

I spent my career both in the pharmaceutical and oil additive industries. Now that I have retired, I needed to apply my background in chemistry and process engineering to something more. The current nutrition and obesity crisis, including its causes and effects, have inspired me to apply my expertise spending the last few years researching and writing this book, in the hope that it will inspire much needed change in how we approach human health.
