This book changed my life. I have been able to keep off over 50 pounds of weight since reading this book. Somewhat long and technical, but very informative.

This book catalogs Taube's meticulous inquiry into the past century of nutrition science, politics, and policy. What he unearths from his investigation is an avalanche of bad science and politics that probably pushed back back the scientific progress of health by at least 50 years. Completely shocking and in my opinion one of the most important books in the field of health/nutrition ever written.

An interesting read that asks interesting questions about nutrition and diet and how come people who follow many of these diets don't seem to lose weight. This book points the finger at refined ... Read full review

User Review  - Michael - Goodreads

This book is both brilliant and somewhat hard to read. It is not a nonfiction novel, but a scientific paper written for the layperson to understand. Sometimes it's dry. Like, really dry, and goes way ... Read full review
