The big fat surprise

Book • 2014
In this book, Nina Teicholz presents a nine-year-long investigation into the history and science of dietary fat.

She argues that the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has been based on weak, inconclusive evidence and has led to disastrous health consequences.

Teicholz documents how misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs.

She explains why traditional foods like meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs are safe and beneficial for health, contrary to long-held dietary dogma.
