Not another diet book: After seven years of research in every science
connected with the impact of nutrition on health, science writer Taubes
shows that almost everything we believe about a healthy diet is wrong.
We are taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the
key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more--yet we see
unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues
persuasively that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, via their
dramatic effect on insulin, and that the key to good health is the kind
of calories we take in, not the number. He also argues that there is no
compelling scientific evidence that saturated fat and cholesterol cause
heart disease. Based on the evidence, he concludes that the only healthy
way to remain lean is to eat fewer carbohydrates or to change the type
of carbohydrates we eat.
