Almost every day it seems a new study is published that shows you
are at risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or death due to
something you've just eaten for lunch. Many of us no longer know
what to eat or who to believe. In Nutrition in Crisis distinguished
biochemist Richard Feinman, PhD, cuts through the noise, explaining
the intricacies of nutrition and human metabolism in accessible
terms. He lays out the tools you need to navigate the current
confusion in medical literature and its increasingly bizarre
reflection in the media. At the same time, Nutrition in Crisis
offers an unsparing critique of the nutritional establishment,
which continues to demonize fat and refute the benefits of
low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets-all despite decades of
evidence to the contrary. Feinman tells the story of the first
low-carbohydrate revolution fifteen years ago, how it began, what
killed it, and why a second revolution is now reaching a fever
pitch. He exposes the backhanded tactics of a regressive
nutritional establishment that ignores good data and common sense,
and highlights the innovative work of those researchers who have
broken rank. Entertaining, informative, and irreverent, Feinman
paints a broad picture of the nutrition world: the beauty of the
underlying biochemistry; the embarrassing failures of the medical
establishment; the preeminence of low-carbohydrate diets for weight
loss, diabetes, other metabolic diseases, and even cancer; and
what's wrong with the constant reports that the foods we've been
eating for centuries represent a threat rather than a source of
pleasure.
