Physician and New York Times contributor Aaron Carroll examines decades of dietary research to challenge widespread assumptions about food and health. Carroll argues that many ingredients commonly labeled as harmful may actually benefit our wellbeing, while eliminating certain demonized foods could damage our health. He reviews extensive studies on nutrition to distinguish scientific evidence from popular misconceptions. Carroll demonstrates that some of our most vilified food choices serve important roles in a balanced diet. The book presents counterintuitive findings about foods we typically avoid, offering readers research-based insights to develop eating habits that remain both reasonable and sustainable while allowing for occasional pleasure.
