Attributes of The Big Fat Surprise PDF
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 it must be because we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves—the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks—are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease?
In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma.
With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat—including saturated fat—is what leads to better health and wellness. Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.

The Science is Settled
January 23, 2018
As a physician trained in the low-fat dogma, I’ve had a hard time moving to a high saturated fat diet. But the scientific data is crystal clear. Our current obsession with low fat diets and veggies is killing us with obesity and type II diabetes. High saturated fat and low carb not only tastes wonderful, it’s good for you. It is probably better for you than statins.
Great read!

A must read – even if you are not trying to lose weight.

This is probably one of the most important books I have read in the past 10 years. At 48 years old, I have grown up being told that saturated fats were bad and that we should eat mostly carbohydrates (whole grains, rice, pasta, etc). It turns out that the science just doesn’t support that. This is an extraordinarily well-written book by an author without an agenda. I didn’t read this with a goal of losing weight as I am pretty fit and exercise every day. I have had problems with PVCs (extra abnormal heart beats) and high blood pressure though. Since eating a higher fat diet and limiting carbs to just dinner for the past 3-4 months, the PVCs have gone away and my blood pressure has come down. My level of HDL (good cholesterol) went up and triglycerides went down. I also lost 7-8 pounds. More importantly, I feel better – more energy and sustained mental clarity throughout the day. I would also recommend “Grain Brain” by Perlmutter.

My most favourite book ever!

This is my favourite book. Ever!
And I’m the daughter of a librarian so I’ve read a lot!
The scale of research and science Nina has reviewed is nothing short of gargantuan. Every chapter is compelling & shocking in what she reviews about the atrocious history of nutritional medicine.
I love this book (& Nina’s subsequent work to change the US dietary guidelines) so much that I travelled to Colorado mountains from Australia this week to meet her!
I’ve also totally changed my diet to low carb high fat, lost 13 kgs (26lbs), stopped my terrible knee pain, migraines, pre-diabetes blood sugars, headaches, eczema and mild depression. And now I’m super happy as I’ve just bought 2 pairs of US sized 2 jeans!
Our fear of healthy natural fats has made us sick, inflamed & fat. You have to get this book if you want to know why!

Outstanding work describing the history of nutrition and how science may be corrupted.
June 12, 2018
Ms. Teicholtz has done a wonderful job describing how we came to be in a situation where obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and a host of other chronic diseases are widespread today (2018). She does this by describing how strong wills believing that fat=bad, carbs=good, big dollars (grants, large food interests, and (not mentioned by Ms. Teicholtz) pharmaceuticals were all able to influence public policy and ultimately the diet of most of the civilized world. Many myths are laid bare and shattered. The Mediterranean diet, for example, exactly what is it, is there really a diet that all peoples who live along the Mediterranean eat? (no).
I initially thought this would overlap too much with the Gary Taube’s books (Good Calories, Bad Calories, Why we get fat, the case against sugar) and Dr. Catherine Shanahn’s Deep Nutrition but instead it is a nice complement to them,.
Ms. Teicholtz has obviously put a lot of time and effort (not always the same) into this work and it is very illuminating. I for one am most appreciative that she took the effort to write this book.
