"Health Without Bodies is a fascinating journey into the claims and counter claims surrounding the 'health benefits' of foods. Such foods become entangled in a powerful web of regulatory governance demarcating the boundaries between medicine and nutrition, the pharmacological and the nutracological, the patient and the consumer. Nowhere are such boundaries more volatile than in the context of food, and especially in the way that food is so anthropologically pivotal to questions of culture, morality and political order." (Nik Brown, University of York, author of Immunitary Life: The Biopolitics of Immunity) "In this carefully researched exploration of health claims on food labels, Kim Hendrickx investigates not just a complex corner of European food law but how food knowledge and the market intersect. Through vivid empirical explorations from sugar refineries to corporate settings, Hendrickx invites us to undertake a crucial move: seeing scientific and regulatorydebates as sites for understanding how the architecture of the European market deals with the irruption of bodily matters."
