The Longevity Paradox
by Steven R. Gundry
Gundry's gut-centred theory of ageing: the microbiome drives it, lectins and certain foods damage it, and his programme repairs it. Controversial among nutrition scientists; readers should treat the specific food bans with scepticism and the gut emphasis as mainstream.
