Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food : Shanahan, Catherine: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Nutritional myth-buster for pushy parents - In the first part of the book I was initially put off by the heavy emphasis on conventional beauty, and not entirely convinced by the concept of "second sibling syndrome" where the author tries to demonstrate how an oldest child grabs the best nutrition (and therefore looks and health) from its mother. The photographs of "ideal" faces reminded me of the nasty final chapter of an old Nazi biology textbook I once saw, with its photos of ideal Aryans! Still, maybe this stuff will be popular with people who want their kids to be film stars, and convince them to read the rest. Once the author got on to nutrition proper, I found the book, which is well-referenced with recent research, more convincing. Like several other authors over the last 10 years or so, she neatly dismisses the prevailing ideology of "low-fat good, animal fat bad" which is still being trotted out by the government and food industry. A lot of similar information can be found in Sally Fallon's book "Nourishing Traditions" (essentially a recipe book) and the Weston-Price foundation website, and in "Trick and Treat" by Barry Groves. "Deep nutrition" completes the picture by looking in more depth at how what you eat affects not just you, but your children, and even grandchildren. I'm still not convinced that William is better looking than Harry just because he's got a big jaw!
Review: Excellent, thorough and detailed - An excellent book giving a wealth of information about ancestral nutrition and the ways in which our foodstuffs have gradually deviated from that. This felt, however, like a book of two halves - one exploring our shared history and also intergenerational nutrution, one detailing the "four pillars" approach. And, although these clearly interlink, i'd have liked to have read more about how much can be helped or improved here and now, especially for those of us who have already reproduced and very much need to put things right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nutritional myth-buster for pushy parents
*by I***T on 21 August 2011*

In the first part of the book I was initially put off by the heavy emphasis on conventional beauty, and not entirely convinced by the concept of "second sibling syndrome" where the author tries to demonstrate how an oldest child grabs the best nutrition (and therefore looks and health) from its mother. The photographs of "ideal" faces reminded me of the nasty final chapter of an old Nazi biology textbook I once saw, with its photos of ideal Aryans!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, thorough and detailed
*by M***A on 13 January 2025*

An excellent book giving a wealth of information about ancestral nutrition and the ways in which our foodstuffs have gradually deviated from that. This felt, however, like a book of two halves - one exploring our shared history and also intergenerational nutrution, one detailing the "four pillars" approach. And, although these clearly interlink, i'd have liked to have read more about how much can be helped or improved here and now, especially for those of us who have already reproduced and very much need to put things right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most comprehensive book about nutrition I've read!
*by A***M on 31 August 2015*

This book is an absolute must-read for anyone who wants to be healthy, not only it's so well-written that it's a pleasure to read, it explains complicated processes in such a deep details but using simple examples- it's absolutely impressive! Unlike many other books it explains WHY and HOW things work, it's so convincing without any pressure but with lots of data, research and demonstrative materials. I'm chuffed to bits to find out answers for questions I've had about nutrition for years but couldn't find answers for them anywhere. Absolutely amazing book, so comprehensive! Would highly recommend to everyone, can't wait for my husband to read it...
