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.
In 'Feeding You Lies,' Vani Hari reveals the untruths, cover-ups, and deceptive practices in the food industry, similar to those seen in the tobacco industry. The book exposes how nutrition research is manipulated by food company-funded experts, how to spot fake news generated by Big Food, the tricks used to make food addictive, and the misleading nature of labels like 'all natural' and 'non-GMO.' Hari provides actionable steps to protect readers from unhealthy foods and helps them make informed decisions about their diet. The book includes a 48-hour Toxin Takedown plan to rid the pantry and body of harmful chemicals and promotes eating whole, natural foods for better health.

Food marketing and misguided dietary guidelines play a large role in the food choices we make. These foods are frequently devoid of nutritional value and, even worse, they are addictive and keep you going back for more. Our bodies are built and maintained by what we put in our mouths; we literally are what we eat. Unfortunately, that means the majority of people in our country are made of ultra-processed food-like substances that create disease.
In today’s episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz, Michael Moss, and Vani Hari on the influence of food marketing and why the US government’s dietary guidelines may not be so healthy after all.
Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat, and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease.
Michael Moss, a New York Times investigative reporter turned food-focused journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner for Explanatory Reporting, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, as well as the book Hooked: Food and Free Will, focused around food and addiction.
