Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A great overview of the current thinking on our diet's impact on our health, and how getting health messages so wrong over the years has led to the current obesity crisis. Fat is not the enemy; sugar is, and it's everywhere.

Really enjoyed this fantasy from Patricia Briggs. I didn't know she wrote anything besides urban fantasy. It was a fun, demon-hunting, murder mystery cum romance, so a little bit of everything! Would love to read more with these characters, but sadly ...more

Quotes by Marina Finlayson

“Throw the word “bargain” around a few times, and people will swarm the tiredest old dreck like bees in search of a new hive. Or maybe locusts, ready to strip the place bare. They even buzzed like swarming insects. Voices raised in conversation and laughter, plus the occasional shrieks of a tired child, formed a background roar that still failed to drown out the tired tinkle of Christmas music piped over the top. I’d only been here ten minutes and already I’d heard White Christmas twice. Two times too many in my book.”
― Marina Finlayson, Twiceborn

“Bet Boss wouldn’t be pleased about the sunnies thing. Making yourself look like a tosser was a personal choice, of course, but it meant Sunnies Dude stood out from the crowd. Despite the heat and glare outside, no one else in here wore sunglasses. What did they teach these guys in spy school? Didn’t he know he should be trying to blend in?”
― Marina Finlayson, Twiceborn

“So I had a look, in case it was full of white powder, or hundred dollar bills, or something equally dodgy. I may not care about much any more but no money on earth would get me to deliver drugs. But I couldn’t even tell what it was—a roughly disk-shaped piece of shiny hard something. It didn’t look like any plastic I’d ever seen, and there was nothing written on it, nothing to explain why anyone would give a toss who received such a thing. But clearly someone did.”
― Marina Finlayson, Twiceborn
