Authors Bio, not available
`Nina Teicholz reveals the disturbing underpinnings of the
profoundly misguided dietary recommendations that have permeated
modern society, culminating in our overall health decline. But The
Big Fat Surprise is refreshingly empowering. This wonderfully
researched text provides the reader with total validation for
welcoming healthful fats back to the table, paving the way for
weight loss, health and longevity.’ —David Perlmutter, M.D., author
of the New York Times bestseller Grain Brain
`This meticulously researched book thoroughly dismantles the
current dietary dogma that fat—particularly saturated fat—is bad
for us. Teicholz brings to life the key personalities in the field
and uncovers how nutritional science has gotten it so wrong. There
aren't enough superlatives to describe this journalistic tour de
force. I read it twice: once for the information and again just for
the writing.’ —Michael R. Eades, M.D., author of the New York Times
bestseller Protein Power
`It’s a big book that initially is very similar to the fantastic
Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007). But once you’ve read the first
chapters you realise that this book is so much more. It’s an
updated version with a somewhat different focus — and for most
readers probably far more entertaining, clarifying and upsetting.
This is the definitive story on how fear of fat was based on how
ambitious researchers and well-meaning politicians took short cuts
and ignored the lack of real evidence.’ - Andreas Eenfeldt, M.D.,
author of Low Carb, High Fat Food Revolution
`A page-turner story of science gone wrong: what Gary Taubes did in
Good Calories, Bad Calories for debunking the connection between
fat consumption and obesity, Nina Teicholz now does in The Big Fat
Surprise for the purported connection between fat and heart
disease. Misstep-by misstep, blunder by blunder, Ms. Teicholz
recounts the statistical cherry-picking, political finagling, and
pseudoscientific bullying that brought us to yet another of the
biggest mistakes in health and nutrition, the low-fat and
low-saturated fat myth for heart health.’ —William Davis, M.D.,
author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly
