THE BIG FAT SURPRISE

I know this is the second time I have recommended this book but there is a reason why. It is brilliant. The very foods we are told not to eat because they are apparently bad for us and the environment. Nina brings us through what I will call a crime scene. The academic world that brought us the guidelines of nutritional advice. This is one of those books that when you get to digest it as part of your health journey you will not be disappointed. I have such respect for what Nina has put together here. A major piece of the puzzle of how we are all subject to the social experiment of nutrition advice. Food fads, diets and dogma along the way have been successful by sidelining the very foods that nourish us. Folk are waking up to it though. They smell a rat. And rightly so. The same playbook is used to convince us to adopt other health advice. This book was an eye opener for me… thank you Nina!
