About This Book

Good Calories, Bad Calories challenges conventional nutrition wisdom, arguing that dietary fat isn’t the main cause of obesity and heart disease. Gary Taubes examines historical research, revealing flawed science behind low‑fat dietary guidelines. He suggests that carbohydrates, especially refined ones, drive metabolic disorders. The book combines investigative reporting with scientific analysis to rethink how we understand diet, weight gain, and chronic illness, pushing for a more evidence‑based approach to nutrition.
