Better Not Burn Your Toast

“Dr. Schwarcz presents all the information he covers in a very straightforward manner that makes it easy for those of us who don’t have a medical degree to follow along and understand… He writes with a bit of whimsy and humor that helps even the driest and most serious subjects have a fun vibe to learn about.” — The Newest Rant“Interesting, informative, and entertainingly written, Better Not Burn Your Toast takes the form of a wide-ranging science-based inquiry, and the inclusion of historical background should appeal to those with curious minds. Readers who want to learn more about the health effects of the foods we eat, the methods we use to prepare them, and the medicines we use should enjoy this book.” — The Seaboard Review
