The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet

In this fascinating, vivid, and persuasive narrative, based on a nine-year study, Dr. Teichholz shows how misinformation about saturated fats became embedded in the scientific community and in the public imagination—and how recent discoveries have refuted those beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean diet is not the healthiest, and how we can replace trans fats with something even worse. You’ll see how overzealous researchers, through a combination of selfishness, bias, and premature institutional consensus, allowed dangerous distortions to become dietary dogma. Only a lot of fat. Only juicy steaks, creamy cheeses, potatoes dressed with cow’s milk butter, nuts, fried eggs, and fatty fish can—
—keep your skin perfectly smooth and firm deep into old age;
—spare you from developing dementia in adulthood;
—prevent cardiovascular diseases;
—restore lost energy and sexuality.
