      abstract = {Health Without Bodies invites readers on an ethnographic  exploration of the boundary between food and medicine.  Food-related health claims are governed in the EU as  voluntary statements on food labels to help consumers make  'informed choices'. This poses an interesting problem: when  claims refer to health, one can no longer ignore that  consumers have bodies. Asking how these claims have become  possible as a new kind of truth-statement on the market,  this book reveals the contours of a fundamental tension  between what is expected from consumers in a liberal market  economy, and how food and the body come to trouble those  expectations. In doing so, it illuminates why the  difference between food and medicine is such a sensitive  issue, and why seemingly trivial health claims have been  subject to so much debate and political control.},
