The Diet Compass is a science journalist's evidence-based guide to nutrition, cutting through fad diets and conflicting headlines to reveal what genuinely supports long-term health. Drawing on thousands of studies, Bas Kast distils the essentials of eating well into twelve clear, practical steps. Written for curious adult readers wanting facts rather than fashion, this paperback offers a refreshingly honest, myth-busting approach to weight, ageing, and wellbeing, ideal for anyone ready to rethink their relationship with food using real research rather than trends.. About the Book. When science journalist Bas Kast collapsed with chest pains, he feared a lifetime of poor eating had permanently damaged his health. That moment sparked a personal investigation into the science of diet and longevity, taking him deep into the latest nutritional research from around the world. The result is The Diet Compass, a book that filters thousands of sometimes contradictory studies into clear, actionable insights anyone can follow. Kast examines how much sugar is genuinely safe to consume, what the evidence says about supplements and fasting, and whether tea or coffee deserve their reputations as health boosters or hazards. Rather than prescribing a rigid plan, he builds a practical "compass" of twelve steps, helping readers navigate a food landscape crowded with competing claims and marketing spin. He also tackles hotly debated topics, from the role of fat and carbohydrates to the impact of processed foods on long-term health. The tone is accessible and engaging rather than academic, translating complex research into plain language without oversimplifying the science. For UK readers seeking a trustworthy, up-to-date, balanced guide to eating for a longer, healthier life, this paperback edition delivers exactly that, grounded in evidence rather than
