Heath: diet, food additives, and lifestyle

Here you can have access to a short piece on a book I am currently reading.  It is called The Story of the Human Body by Daniel Lieberman.  I think we can use this piece to initiate our discussion on well-being, life style and diet.

Here is an Economist article on sweeteners.

Here you can find a Guardian article comprising an interview with the founder of the slow food movement.
