100 Million Years of FoodA fascinating tour through the evolution of the human diet, and how we can improve our health by understanding our complicated history with food. There are few areas of modern life that are burdened by as much information and advice, often contradictory, as our diet and health: eat a lot of meat, eat no meat; whole grains are healthy, whole grains are a disaster; eat everything in moderation; eat only certain foods and on and on. In 100 Million Years

A fascinating tour through the evolution of the human diet, and how we can improve our health by understanding our complicated history with food.

There are few areas of modern life that are burdened by as much information and advice, often contradictory, as our diet and health: eat a lot of meat, eat no meat; whole-grains are healthy, whole-grains are a disaster; eat everything in moderation; eat only certain foods--and on and on. In 100 Million Years of Food biological anthropologist Stephen Le explains how cuisines of different cultures are a result of centuries of evolution, finely tuned to our biology and surroundings. Today many cultures have strayed from their ancestral diets, relying instead on mass-produced food often made with chemicals that may be contributing to a rise in so-called "Western diseases," such as cancer, heart disease, and obesity.

Travelling around the world to places as far-flung as Vietnam, Kenya, India, and the US, Stephen Le introduces us to people who are growing, cooking, and eating food using both traditional and modern methods, striving for a sustainable, healthy diet. In clear, compelling arguments based on scientific research, Le contends that our ancestral diets provide the best first line of defense in protecting our health and providing a balanced diet. Fast-food diets, as well as strict regimens like paleo or vegan, in effect highjack our biology and ignore the complex nature of our bodies. In 100 Million Years of Food Le takes us on a guided tour of evolution, demonstrating how our diets are the result of millions of years of history, and how we can return to a sustainable, healthier way of eating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rich lather, fresh bergamot scent, leaves skin soft, clean, and refreshed every shower!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Body Wash — Clean, Fresh, and Luxurious! I’ve tried a lot of body washes, but Cremo Rich‑Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Wash has quickly become my go‑to. The moment you use it, you can tell it’s high quality — it produces an unbelievably rich and creamy lather that feels luxurious on the skin. The Italian Bergamot scent is fresh and masculine without being overpowering — just the right balance of citrus and sophistication. It cleans thoroughly without stripping moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated, not tight or dry like some body washes do. The large 32 fl oz bottle lasts a long time, so it’s great value too. Whether you’re starting your day or winding down after the gym, this body wash elevates the shower experience. Highly recommend! 💯

Awesome!
The Cremo Rich-Lathering Italian Bergamot Body Wash has completely elevated my morning routine, and the 32 fl oz bottle offers incredible value by lasting twice as long as the standard size. The scent is sophisticated and "boutique-quality," featuring a bright, crisp blend of Italian bergamot, neroli blossom, and fresh vetiver that actually evolves and reveals different notes as you wash. It builds into an astonishingly rich, creamy lather that leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean and moisturized without any of that annoying sticky residue some other brands leave behind. It’s a refreshing, all-season fragrance that smells premium and masculine without being overpowering, making it the perfect base before heading out. If you’re looking for a high-end shower experience that won't break the bank, this Reserve Collection wash is a definitive five-star choice

Amazing
Before this, my favorite body wash was sage and citrus. Not just for cremo, any body wash. Amazing body wash for the entire line, so any scent you choose, you won't be disappointed. Lathers well, rinses off well enough after some scrubbing (good because it gives you a chance to exfoliate and scrub) but stays clung to your skin for a moisturized and cologned feeling. Italian bergamot is better than sage and citrus. smells like cologne, smells like a night out. I was hesitant to buy because idk what berhmot, vetiver, etc smell like, but now I do. Good value for the size. First shower, I used like 5 or 6 pumps just to really get to know it, but I bet 3 is good for most people.

Clean, Fresh, and Confidence Boosting
It has a really clean and calming scent that stands out without being overpowering like other body washes. The smell is less chemical per se. The bergamot gives off a sense of serenity while still making you feel fresh and put together. It lathers well and leaves you feeling genuinely clean after every shower. What I liked most is that the scent actually sticks around throughout the day. Catching a hint of it later on gave me a small boost of confidence and that “I’ve got myself together” feeling. Definitely a good value for its worth.
