Summary:
Everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. The low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our
health
. For decades, we were told to cut back on fat, especially
saturated
fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner, we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? The misinformation about
saturated
fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, but recent findings have overturned these beliefs. Why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest
--
we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. More, not less, dietary fat--including
saturated
fat--is what leads to better
health
and wellness. We have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.--From publisher description.
