Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It
Science
Taubes argues, against decades of dietary orthodoxy, that refined carbohydrates rather than dietary fat drive obesity. Gurley uses the book as a case study in how a complex system can be persistently misunderstood by experts, praising Taubes for explaining the physiology while noting the obvious point that prevailing advice 'ain't working.'
