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.

Michael Moss
In this book, Michael Moss delves into the strategies used by major food companies to create products that are highly appealing and addictive. He explores the concept of the 'bliss point,' where scientists calculate the optimal combination of sugar, fat, and salt to maximize consumer desire. Moss also uncovers marketing techniques borrowed from the tobacco industry and reveals how these practices contribute to the obesity epidemic. The book is based on meticulous research and interviews with industry insiders, providing a detailed and often unsettling look at the processed food industry's impact on public health.
