About Nutrition In Crisis: Flawed Studies, Misleading
Product Description 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. Review “Fascinating book, full of original, interesting material by one of the original low-carb researchers whose grounding in the field goes back decades. Feinman combines a unique perspective with the experienced eye of a scientist. He’s had a front row seat to developments in the field of carbohydrates and metabolism over the past decades, which has given him key insights into the latest research.”―Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise “With his usual cutting wit and verve, Dr. Feinman hacks through the tangled thicket of nutritional science to show us how we got to the sorry state we find ourselves in today. Obesity is at an all-time high, and diabetes has soared to epidemic proportions, yet the nutritional establishment, blind to its failures, continues to exhort us to trudge down the same path that got us to this pitiful mess in the first place. Dr. Feinman teaches us how to escape. He deploys his vast experience in biochemistry, nutrition, and the turgid mindset of academia to demystify mainstream nutritional research and explain how it has currently gone off the rails. With a sprinkling of humor and literary allusions, along with a deep dive into some of the nutritional literature, he tells readers what they need to know to shed excess body fat, lower blood sugar, and restore their health. A must read for anyone with a serious interest in health and nutrition.”―Michael R. Eades, MD, author of Protein Power “We have arrived at the most important nutritional crossroads in all of human history: We must choose to either keep the dietary status quo despite every bit of evidence that it has failed, or demand a change in order to salvage what is left of our collective health. In Nutrition in Crisis, Dr. Richard Feinman has dropped the opening salvo in what is sure to be a battle for the ages―one that determines the future of how we eat and the prevalence of disease in the years to come. Join the revolution!”―Jimmy Moore, health podcaster; bestselling author of Keto Clarity “Every scientific discipline needs a Dr. Richard David Feinman. He is just as skeptical about what he believes as what he disbelieves. His writing bears eloquent testimony to why he is such a scientific treasure.”―Timothy Noakes, MD, PhD, emeritus professor, University of Cape Town; founder, The Noakes Foundation “As a physician who ha
