Food Fix Uncensored is not a diet book-it's a wake-up call. Dr. Mark Hyman exposes how a food system designed for profit, not health, is driving chronic disease and harming the planet. He reveals how Big Food, Big Agriculture, and Big Pharma manipulate what we eat and questions the "normal" health problems Americans face. Combining investigative reporting with nutritional science, this fully revised edition gives readers the tools to reclaim control over their health and their food. After reading, you'll never look at your meals-or the system behind them-the same way again
