<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Exploring the controversial science of diet and health, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is a tour de force of scientific investigation certain to redefine the ongoing debate about food and its effects on health.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number. <p/>Called "a very important book," by Andrew Weil and ..." destined to change the way we think about food," by Michael Pollan, this groundbreaking book by award-winning science writer Gary Taubes shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong. <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food." --Michael Pollan, author of <i>In Defense of Food</i>"Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist who does not accept conventional wisdom." --<i>The New York Times</i>"A very important book." --Dr. Andrew Weil "Brilliant and enlightening. . . .
