?A page turner? (The Economist) and an instant New York Times bestseller, hailed by Ruth Reichl in the Boston Globe as ?a wonderful book [that] takes on everything we think we know about nutrition,? this deeply researched, groundbreaking investigation is changing the way America eats. For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner we must not be trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? And the very foods we?ve been denying ourselves?creamy cheeses, sizzling steaks?are the key to reducing obesity, diabetes, and heart disease? ?At last the whole truth about the luscious foods our bodies really need,? cheers bestselling author Dr. Christiane Northrup. Based on a nine-year investigation, journalist Nina Teicholz in The Big Fat Surprise reveals the unthinkable: everything we?ve been told about fat is wrong. She documents how, over the past sixty years, the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have conclusively overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest; how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse; and how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature consensus, allowed weak science to become dietary dogma. The Big Fat Surprise boasts ?solid, well-reported science?Like a bloodhound, Teicholz tracks the process by which a hypothesis morphs into truth? (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In this vibrant, captivating narrative Teicholz upends the conventional wisdom once and for all, allowing us to finally welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
