My wife got me this book for my birthday because I’m eating a plant-based diet these days, and she wanted me to know more about this type of diet.“The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition: How to Enhance the Power of Plants for Optimal Health,” is a neutrally written book that offers a ton of science-based information on a variety of foods, including some you might not know about. For instance, there is a chapter on the benefits of “nutritional yeast,” also known as nooch and described by author Rhiannon Lambert as “deactivated yeast that can be used to add flavor and nutrients to a plant-based diet.”Lambert describes her own interesting story in the introduction. At 17, she was a thriving soprano singer who received her education at The Royal Academy of Music and was performing at places such as Paris Fashion Week and Royal Albert Hall. “I appeared to be living the most thrilling life,” she writes.But the pressures of the music industry were too much for Lambert, so she pursued her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nutrition and founded a clinic in 2016 called Rhitrition (love the name!). You have to figure that anyone who leaves a successful career in music for something else must really be interested in her new pursuit.Based on this book and the work in her clinic, the author is now thriving and highly knowledgeable in the food-health realm. She makes a point at the start to mention the “pseudoscience” health tips we are all inundated with these days, from our Instagram feeds to magazines to what you see on labels in grocery stores. The author begins with why nutrition is crucial and how it affects our bodies. As you read on, you’ll discover more specific topics such as the aforementioned nooch as well as heavier areas such as whether eating a plant-based diet helps prevent cancer.If you eat a plant-based diet, or are thinking of transitioning to one, “The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition" offers an easy-to-read, in-depth tool for you to discover healthy eating choices and how these foods affect your body.

In a world of ‘noise’ about ‘healthy eating’, where there is so much confusion and contradictory advice, Rhiannon’s latest book is an absolute tonic. The book doesn’t try and convert you to being a vegan (being a vegan/vegetarian and being plant based are very different!) but explains so much about the benefits of plant based living, introducing more plants into your diet and explaining how to make sensible, sustainable choices. This can include eating small amounts of good quality meat and fish. A truly realistic way of approaching healthy eating for life, rather than the latest fad, this book should be in all libraries, all schools and all hospitals as a bit of a bible on how to eat properly. It’s also beautifully photographed, which makes it a joy to read. Rhiannon is a registered nutritionist, and that’s clear to see from the book. I absolutely loved reading it, and continue to follow Rhiannon’s sensible, realistic advice both through her books and social media pages. A must buy!

This is an outstanding book. Every chapter has around a dozen subchapter, each of which is set up as a question, which is a brilliant approach because it helps the reader identify with, and be comfortable with, the science. The numerous photos, illustrations and charts are hugely helpful and very user-friendly. Once you get reading, it's honestly hard to put the book down!The chapters are:General NutritionIntroducing Plant-based NutritionPlant DiversityObtaining NutrientsPlant-based Cooking and ShoppingPlant-based Nutrition for Life and HealthNutrition TablesThe subchapter questions are those that people wonder about when moving to a more plant-based way of eating.

(and how to use it!)Should I Be Conscious of Iodine Intake?Will I Consume Too Many Carbohydrates?What Affects Nutrient Bioavailability?Is Plant-Based Nutrition Better for Your Bones?... and the list goes on.If you are curious about plant-based nutrition, or are already plant-based and want to know if you are doing it healthfully, this is absolutely THE book to read.
