    Josie Smythe-Rivers

    Josie Smythe-Rivers is an historian of science whose areas of interest include the early history of chemistry, the sociology of scientific knowledge since the mid-twentieth century, and the intersections between evolution and medicine. Her work in nutrition spans the early modern to contemporary periods, with particular focus in the latter period on insulin, diabetes, diet, and metabolic syndrome. Her short books in the Metabolic Health Publications series are designed to provide the general reader with straightforward, accessible, and current information regarding insulin resistance, diet, exercise, prediabetes, diabetes, weight loss, and metabolic syndrome. They are not written to be used as a substitute for medical care. Finally, Smythe-Rivers also addresses key issues in the history of nutritional science that have resulted in poor nutritional advise and faulty dietary guidelines.
