Nutrition in Crisis: Flawed Studies, Misleading Advice, and the Real Science of Human Metabolism

A much better tome than his previous work. While the snarkiness towards more conventional dietary interventions is a bit tiresome, he goes into considerable detail as to the underlying biochemistry that he believes is central to obesity and weight loss. While the idea that excess adiposity is driven by an interaction between diet and the endocrine system is not well accepted by mainstream science, he presents a compelling argument in favor of it. Possibly a bit much for a lay person (can be a bit technical) but a worthy read for anyone interested in the topic of weight gain and loss.

There is a rumbling and growing community of people who now accept that our nutrition knowledge has been intentionally manipulated to promote the diet- heart hypothesis. Doctors, somewhat cloned during med school and specialty training, are slow to accept their need for critical analysis skills to free them from blinkered adherence to long standing compromised nutrition dogma. This book should be a necessary read for all medical doctors. Every chapter is clear, understandable, and insightfully provocative.

This book is heavy into biochemistry and does discuss the misleading flaws of nutritional science. There is such fake news about diets and health just so the food industry manufacturers can sell their products. Obesity and T2 diabetes are at an all time high in this country. Dr Feinman has written a book that explain about how low carb eating can reverse these. Read this book if you want to know how shoddy some research has been just to convince the public that all ‘their’ processed foods are safe. This book is deep reading but very worth the read.

A little difficult to follow the technical aspects, but truly enlightening when it is all applied. Hard to understand how and why there has been SO MUCH RESISTANCE to the benefits of a low carb diet and the tenacious hold the low fat proponents have in the medical community. Does it all go back to the pharma industry and their drug profits? It definitely seems suspicious.

This book was very disappointing. The author's style of writing is sensationalist, falling into what he himself criticizes so fervently. The majority of the book is a criticism of other points of view, which does not go well with me. I give it 3 stars because i appreciate the gigantic amount of work that goes into writing a research-based book, but the delivery totally missed the mark with me.

I am only half way through the book but what I have read so far amazes me. There are many research studies that I had not heard of before that back up the low carb/Keto way of eating, especially for people with diabetes. I highly recommend this book to all diabetics wanting to heal themselves.

A phenomenal book on health by a biochemist. I’ve read dr Fung’s book, Dr. Yudkin’s, Johnathan Bailer’s, delved into dr. Listing and dr. Ludwig, but I really like the viewpoint here. It’s a good addition to a well-rounded health library.

I liked his explanations of why things are the way they are and rings true with other authors.

It’s a wonderful read about human nutrition for everyone to understand.
