Dive into the world of nutrition and question conventional wisdom with this thought-provoking book by award-winning science writer Gary Taubes. Unravel the long-held beliefs surrounding healthy diets, which often emphasize the avoidance of fat and the consumption of carbohydrates.
Despite following such advice, society faces unprecedented obesity and diabetes epidemics. Taubes contends that the root of the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, such as white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars. He asserts that the key to good health is the type of calories we consume, rather than the quantity.
Esteemed by experts like Andrew Weil and Michael Pollan, this book provides a fresh perspective on dietary choices. By reevaluating the nature of a healthy diet, you can make informed decisions and embrace a more sustainable, health-focused lifestyle.
