A New York Times bestseller Named one of The Economist’s Books of the Year 2014 Named one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Forbes’s Most Memorable Healthcare Book of 2014
In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health. Dish up the red meat, eggs, and whole milk!
For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of “bad” saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat “heart healthy” fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation’s health has declined. What is going on?
In The Big Fat Surprise, Teicholz reveals how sixty years of nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers have made basic scientific mistakes that, through a mix of ego and bias, allow dangerous misrepresentations to become dogma, and how scientists who dared oppose this consensus have been ostracized. For eight years, Teicholz has pored over the massive research literature and interviewed hundreds of leading experts to unravel the shockingly distorted claims of nutrition studies. She brings these researchers to life and shows how their ambitions, loyalties, and rivalries have undermined a field of research already full of difficult pitfalls.
With a lively narrative style akin to Michael Pollan’s in The Omnivore’s Dilemma and the scientific rigor of Gary Taubes in Good Calories, Bad Calories, Teicholz convincingly upends the conventional wisdom about all fats. Her groundbreaking claim is that more dietary fat leads to better health, wellness, and fitness. Science shows that reducing the saturated fat in our diets has been disastrous for our health as a nation, and we can, guilt-free, welcome these “whole fats” back into our lives.

På ett förgörande detaljrikt och uttömmande sätt gör författaren definitivt upp med grunden för de vilseledande kostråd som under 1900-talets senare hälft proklamerats av myndigheter i hela västvärlden, råd som föranlett den metabola pandemi vars förgörande effekter på människors hälsa saknar motstycke i mänsklighetens historia. Denna bok drar ner byxorna på det så kallat vetenskapliga etablissemanget och ger hopp om förändrong, om än att en sådan skuta inte vänds i första taget.Den här boken rekommenderas till alla som är intresserade av kost, till alla som är intresserade av hälsa, till alla med barn, till alla som vill förstå hur vetenskap kan korrumperas och politiseras, ja kort och gott är detta en bok för alla människor som vill finna vägen till ett långt och rikt liv.

Lite väl lång, men skrämmande! Vi har fått fel kostråd i över 100 år.

Jätteintressant och inspirerande! Enda minus är att uppläsaren upplevdes lite knarrig på rösten...
