«Most Delicious Poison» is the popular science essay by Noah Whiteman, published by Little, Brown Spark in hardcover (336 pages, in English).
Evolutionary biologist Noah Whiteman explains why plants and fungi produce natural toxins and why we feel attraction or addiction to them. With cases like caffeine, capsaicin, or opioids, the book shows how that chemical warfare between species reached our kitchen, medicine cabinet, and history, and helped diversify life on Earth.
Subtitled «The Story of Nature's Toxins—From Spices to Vices», the work was originally published on October 24, 2023.
A read for those who enjoy popular science, natural history, and essays on biology and culture.
