About this listen

 This groundbreaking book by award-winning science writer and bestselling author of Why We Get Fat and The Case for Keto shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

Called “a very important book,” by Andrew Weil and ”destined to change the way we think about food,” by Michael Pollan, this groundbreaking book by award-winning science writer Gary Taubes shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.

changes the way we look at food.The last few chapters and epilogue js a definitive read. The books describes the difference and driving factors between scientific research and medical research and medical research is born running thus leading to lot of changes.
A bit of patience initially, then the book is a page turner.

Thoroughly researched, well-presented narrative of the science history - and scientific evidence - of dietary theories and policies. Surprising revelations about how little of current dietary advice stems from objective scientific evidence, but instead from policy and politics. Taubes takes an axe to the dietary fat hypothesis, and presents some alternate views from the literature on what causes metabolic disorders and obesity. Even if the alternate hypothesis doesn't hold up, there is a lot to learn about in this book. It represents a Kepplerian revolution of the models of dietary science and advice!
