About this audiobook
In Nutrition Zombies, licensed nutritionist and dedicated myth-buster, Monica Reinagel (aka the Nutrition Diva), drives a stake through the heart of 10 persistent nutrition myths -- so that you can get on with the business of eating well and feeling fabulous.
Next time you get one of those emails from your mother warning that drinking ice water with meals causes stomach cancer, or your spinning instructor starts explaining the importance of a regular "cleanse," or your co-worker claims that today's fruits and vegetables are completely devoid of nutrients, you'll be armed with the actual facts.
Eating healthy isn't as difficult (or as joyless) as you've been led to believe. In this brief but fact-filled book, Monica sifts through the science and the silliness, separates food fact from food fiction, and offers her unique spin on the art of eating well.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is great, I am a huge fan of Monica Reinagel - I subscribe to her podcast "Nutrition Diva" on "Quick and Dirty Tips" website where there's a huge archive of no-nonsense, de-bunking nutrition advice. The book lives up to expectations, it's easy to understand, eloquently written but yet thoroughly researched and most importantly backed up by science. For anyone trying to navigate the "nutrition maze" (where a lot of information available is junk i.e. pseudo-science, marketing hype, and misinformation) this is a must-read. I'm looking forward Monica's other audio books and I will recommend this to friends and family - it's a excellent nutrition primer.
