Tim Spector is a professor and one of the world's leading gut microbiome researchers, and here he breaks down what fermented food actually does and doesn't do. Kombucha, kefir, sourdough, miso and coffee are each tackled in turn, with the lowdown on what to look for when buying, how to make your own, and why simple additions to your everyday diet can transform your gut health. Along the way he also debunks a fair few of the claims doing the rounds. This is fermentation treated as science rather than lifestyle, and it's a welcome counterweight.
