Review
"Teicholz may be the Rachel Carson of the nutrition movement..." (Leah Binder Forbes)“Solid, well-reported science… Like a bloodhound, Teicholz tracks the process by which a hypothesis morphs into truth without the benefit of supporting data.” (Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review))"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, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs)"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 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, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Bac)"At last the whole truth about the luscious foods our bodies really need!" (Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn physician and author of the New York Times bestseller Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom)"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)"The Big Fat Surprise delivers on its title, exposing the shocking news that much of what “everybody knows” about a healthy diet is in fact all wrong. This book documents how misunderstanding, misconduct and bad science caused generations to be misled about nutrition. Anyone interested in either food or health will want to read to this book." (Nathan Myhrvold, author of Modernist Cuisine)“[Teicholz] has a gift for translating complex data into an engaging forensic narrative . . . [The Big Fat Surprise] is a lacerating indictment of Big Public Health . . . More than a book about food and health or even hubris; it is a tragedy for our information age. From the very beginning, we had the statistical means to understand why things did not add up; we had a boatload of Cassandras, a chorus of warnings; but they were ignored, castigated, suppressed. We had our big fat villain, and we still do.” (The Wall Street Journal)"This is a striking study..which may well change the way you eat. I, for one, won’t ever hesitate to order a steak again.” (Financial Times)"Read Teicholz's excellent book and tell me you aren't convinced she's right." (Chicago Sun-Times)

While this book is exceedingly thorough about the vast experiment based on paltry that has been the Wisdom about nutrition for the past 50+ years...I really valued having all that info. Not only does the text go into depth, but the footnotes and bibliography are extensive, as is the index; I'd say about 25% of the pages are devoted to this information.Mostly, though- it is clear for 50 years of advocacy, that the "conventional wisdom" on diet and exercise simply dos not work for most people. When the advocated program has a merely 2-5% success rate, that means 95-98% of people following it fail. That's not a success rate to be proud of, and- like in "trickle-down economics"- continuing to pursue a failed model does not in fact help anyone.I care about my health, and that of my family and friends. I want to provide the best possible food for us.And when I put my deep fat fryer into use, I am going to use lard. And not the commercial stuff, but the stuff that's rendered directly from pasture-raised swine.HIGHLY recommended for people interested in food history, or healthful cookery in general.
This is probably one of the most important books I have read in the past 10 years. At 48 years old, I have grown up being told that saturated fats were bad and that we should eat mostly carbohydrates (whole grains, rice, pasta, etc). It turns out that the science just doesn't support that. This is an extraordinarily well-written book by an author without an agenda. I didn't read this with a goal of losing weight as I am pretty fit and exercise every day. I have had problems with PVCs (extra abnormal heart beats) and high blood pressure though. Since eating a higher fat diet and limiting carbs to just dinner for the past 3-4 months, the PVCs have gone away and my blood pressure has come down. My level of HDL (good cholesterol) went up and triglycerides went down. I also lost 7-8 pounds. More importantly, I feel better - more energy and sustained mental clarity throughout the day. I would also recommend "Grain Brain" by Perlmutter.
As a physician trained in the low-fat dogma, I’ve had a hard time moving to a high saturated fat diet. But the scientific data is crystal clear. Our current obsession with low fat diets and veggies is killing us with obesity and type II diabetes. High saturated fat and low carb not only tastes wonderful, it’s good for you. It is probably better for you than statins.Great read!
This is my favourite book. Ever!And I'm the daughter of a librarian so I've read a lot!The scale of research and science Nina has reviewed is nothing short of gargantuan. Every chapter is compelling & shocking in what she reviews about the atrocious history of nutritional medicine.I love this book (& Nina's subsequent work to change the US dietary guidelines) so much that I travelled to Colorado mountains from Australia this week to meet her!I've also totally changed my diet to low carb high fat, lost 13 kgs (26lbs), stopped my terrible knee pain, migraines, pre-diabetes blood sugars, headaches, eczema and mild depression. And now I'm super happy as I've just bought 2 pairs of US sized 2 jeans!Our fear of healthy natural fats has made us sick, inflamed & fat. You have to get this book if you want to know why!
This is a brilliant book. (It has been translated into Chinese, and I only happen to have found it because I noticed that my wife was reading it. The translation of books into Chinese is a good filter because garbage is not translated because it's not worth anybody's time.)In any case, this book intersects with a huge number of other things that I have read before.i. Primarily, it is an expansion of the way that a belief can become entrenched as public policy to deleterious effect. What happens when you put this much power in the hands of people who don't know what they are doing? Milton Friedman's example was the Great Depression, but the analogies are also appropriate as used here. It really only takes half a dozen idiots to set the world on fire. (Milton Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom.")ii. There is a great deal of overlap between the Environmental-Religious Movement and the Anti-Saturated Fat Religious Movement. 1. There is some amount of science that is not settled, and there is debate within the Scientific Community about the facts. 2. Government bureaucrats take it over and reinterpret the issue as satisfaction of competing political desires. 3. One side does win, and sets the official government position - - which is extremely evidence resistant for a *long time.* 4. Many life-quality-years are sacrificed as a result. 5. Everybody who disagrees with this point (which, at this point is Orthodoxy as a result of the state being able to decide who gets funded and who does not) is not simply somebody who has a difference of opinion. Instead they're branded as heretic and morally depraved. (That story was told in the "Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change," by Marc Morano.)iii. There is always some class of intellectuals somewhere who want to use some idea in their service. And the idea itself is not particularly important. Ideas cannot stand on their own merit, and it it is necessary, in order to popularize said idea, to pamper and flatter men of words in order to gain their allegiance. And this is why the Mediterranean Diet was more successful than many other diets. (Eric Hoffer, The True Believer. Ernest van Den Haag. The Jewish Mystique.)iv. The formation of professional organizations to push dietary recommendations/ fight cancer was something that was created by people who had an ego stake. And what was interpreted as acceptable evidence also was related to the ego stake that proponents may or may not have had and not to the underlying topic itself. ( The Emperor of All Maladies. Siddartha Mukherejee. The Atkins Diet Revolution. Robert Atkins.)v. Weak evidence can be made to say anything that you want it to say. The steps in gathering evidence and experimental design are so many, that flawed studies get published ALL THE TIME. (Rigor Mortis: How Sloppy Science...... Richard Harris. The Tyranny of Numbers. Nicholas Eberstadt. Tainted Truth. Cynthia Crossen.)vi. There are deeper issues of measurement and testing of medical phenomenon. How do you even know that you are measuring what you think you are? (Snowball in a Blizzard, Steven Hatch.)vii. The feedback mechanisms of government are distinctly inferior to those of private companies. If you have a bad product, then you will know that immediately. If the government is pushing a bad product, it might go on for several decades before anyone notices. (Knowledge and Decisions. Thomas Sowell. The End is Near and It's Going to Be Awesome. Kevin Williamson.)In the past several years, trans fats have become Public Enemy Number One. But before that it was saturated fats. And trans fats only came into use because of misconceptions about health concerns about saturated fats.Lots of questions come up as I read the text:1. Who knew that so much could be written about fat? This is my second book on fat in 30 days, the first one was "The Secret Life of Fat," by Sylvia Tara.2. Can you ever believe anything that you read again? After reading this book, you almost don't want to believe anything that is published by the government. If the government has some official document that says 6*7=42, then you would assume it false after reading Teicholz .3. How did the author even find all of this information? How long did it take her to set up her narrative arc?This work is *exhaustively* sourced. 150 pages of bibliography and about 750 articles. (And that probably understates the number--because a good number of those were meta-analyses.) The way that she talks, she actually *read* the articles and their experimental methods.4. The way this author wrote it, Ancel Keys was the worst bad guy since Shakespeare's "Iago."5. Will I ever be able to eat anything again? Just today, I went to my favorite kosher restaurant to have some poppers and found myself asking "What kind of oil do you guys use?" (Canola.) Since I keep kosher, I already can't eat at 99.99% of all other restaurants in the United States. Are even the few choices that I do have to be pulled out from up under me?Other general thoughts:This text was a great recapitulation of how high density carbohydrates are not good, and it was done even better than it was in the Atkins book. Information like this always bears/ needs repeating.This book was a great explanation of other diets. Ornish. Mediterranean.I found the author's prose fabulously easy to read.Verdict: Worth the time. Worth the price. Strongly recommended.
