Guaraná
In this sweeping chronicle of guarana—a glossy-leaved Amazonian vine packed with more caffeine than any other plant—Seth Garfield develops a wide-ranging approach to the history of Brazil itself. The story begins with guarana as the pre-Columbian cultivar of the Satere-Mawe people in the Lower Amazon region, where it figured centrally in the Indigenous nation's origin stories, dietary regimes, and communal ceremonies.

Healthy Foods
This book presents research findings about 50 foods that are commonly touted as healthy and educates readers about the medical problems they purportedly alleviate or help prevent. It is always in the best interest of those who market foods to make grandiose claims regarding their nutritional value, regardless of whether actual scientific proof exists to support such a claim. Even diligent and educated consumers often have difficulty discerning facts from mere theory or pure marketing hype. As the incidence of childhood obesity in the United States continues to increase at an alarming rate and food costs skyrocket, this book arrives at a perfect time for health-conscious consumers, providing an authoritative reference for anyone looking to make wise eating decisions at home, work, school, or in restaurants. Healthy Foods: Fact versus Fiction is the result of a collaborative effort between a medical doctor and an award-winning journalist and author on nutrition. This book provides actual research findings to shed light on the true benefits of the most popular health foods—and in some cases, debunk misconceptions surrounding certain foods.

Consumo alimentar e obesidade
O livro discute aspectos que ajudam a entender por que comemos o que comemos e a produção biológica e social da obesidade, além de analisar políticas públicas de alimentação e nutrição. As autoras apresentam, em três capítulos, uma combinação de análises de condicionantes fisiológicos e biológicos sobre o que comemos, assim como o inegável papel da propaganda na forma como consumimos. A obra reúne ainda contribuições e debates sobre recomendações alimentares, conflitos de interesse entre a ciência e a indústria de alimentos, políticas públicas que possam propiciar condições mais favoráveis para escolhas alimentares, além do advocacy (defesa e reivindicação de direitos em torno de uma determinada causa), tema que engloba o ativismo em prol da alimentação saudável e ética.
Epidemiologia nutricional
A obra oferece uma ampla e atualizada visão dos problemas nutricionais de relevância para a saúde pública no país, tendo em vista a realidade de ensino e pesquisa e o cenário epidemiológico e nutricional atual. Publicação de fôlego e poderosa ferramenta de trabalho para a comunidade da epidemiologia nutricional, vai além da avaliação de dietas e da relação entre alimentação e doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Valoriza, também, a longa tradição e excelência da epidemiologia brasileira no trato de temas como desnutrição, desmame precoce e carência de micronutrientes. E respeita a especificidade da dinâmica nutricional brasileira, contemplando com rigor, competência e equilíbrio métodos e análises que abrangem os ‘velhos e novos males’ da nutrição no Brasil.
