Summary

A deadly secret lurks within our kitchens, medicine cabinets, and gardens. Inspired by his father's love of the natural world and his eventual spiral into the depths of addiction, evolutionary biologist Noah Whiteman explores how we came to use - and abuse - these chemicals. Delving into the mysterious origins of plant and fungal toxins, and their unique human history, 'Most Delicious Poison' provides a kaleidoscopic tour of nature's most delectable and dangerous poisons.
