What’s the difference between glucose and dextrose? Or probiotics and prebiotics? Why do we need calcium? What additive is number 330? How safe is acesulfame K? And what the heck are trans fatty acids? In My Nutritionary, Catherine answers these questions and more in plain English, helping you navigate through the jargon and hype so you know what you’re eating. If you want to know exactly what you’re putting in your shopping trolley – or on the dinner table, this is the guide for you.
