What is the "best" diet? Do calories matter? Do I have to choose between low fat and low carb? Should I give up gluten, dairy or meat? And when it comes to protein, fat, and carbs, which ones are good and which ones are bad? Mark Bittman and Dr. David Katz cut through the mass of information confusion surrounding food, health, and diet to shed some light and provide the answers we really need. Inspired by his best-selling New York magazine Q&A section, they offer a clear, no-nonsense point of view on food and diet covering everything from staple nutrients to superfoods to miracle diets, to while demystifying a large number of confusing or contradictory statements. Thus, they address issues such as dietary patterns (what should humans eat?); cereals (are they just carbohydrates? should we avoid gluten?); meat and dairy products (is it important that the products are organic?); alcohol (is it good to drink wine?), or why do I crave salty foods? What is better, a light or normal soft drink? Is it true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? or what is the microbiome? Throughout the book, the authors filter the science of nutrition through the lens of common sense and, from the strictest scientific evidence, offer simple advice and, above all, truthful, clear and definitive answers.
