Evidence-Based Answers to Essential Food and Nutrition Questions

Nutrition confusion ends here.

In Food & Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, 2018), Dr. P.K.

In the book, she answers 134 everyday questions related to all things food, from farm to fork.

Food & Nutrition is being published in Chinese in 2024 and was translated into Turkish in 2020.
