Publisher's Summary

Gluten. Salt. Sugar. Fat. These are the villains of the American diet - or so a host of doctors and nutritionists would have you believe. But the science is far from settled, and we are racing to eliminate wheat and corn syrup from our diets because we've been lied to. The truth is that almost all of us can put the buns back on our burgers and be just fine.

Remember when butter was the enemy? Now it's good for you. You may have lived through times when the Atkins Diet was good, then bad, and then good again; you may have wondered why all your friends cut down on salt or went Paleo; and you might even be thinking about cutting out wheat products from your own diet.

In this groundbreaking work, Alan Levinovitz, PhD, exposes the myths behind how we come to believe which foods are good and which are bad and points the way to a truly healthful life, free from anxiety about what we eat.

Not great

Kind of entertaining to learn about the quack job doctors that promote absurd diets but overall not worth the credit.

A condescending waste of time

Don’t waste your money or time on this book. It’s not balanced or accurate. Sorry I bothered.

Slow and not convincing.

The moment a reference to current politics was mentioned I was done with this book.
