The Gluten Lie

by Alan Levinovitz
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Free yourself from anxiety about what you eat.
Gluten. Salt. Sugar. Fat. These are the villains of the modern diet—or so a host of doctors and nutritionists would have you believe.
But the science is far from settled and we are racing to eliminate wheat and corn syrup from our diets because we've been lied to. The truth is that almost all of us can put the buns back on our burgers and be just fine.
Remember when butter was the enemy? Now it's good for you. You may have lived through times when the Atkins Diet was good, then bad, then good again; you may have wondered why all your friends cut down on salt or went Paleo; and you might even be thinking about cutting out wheat products from your own diet.
For readers suffering from dietary whiplash, The Gluten Lie is the answer. Scientists and physicians know shockingly little about proper nutrition that they didn't know a thousand years ago, even though we spend billions of dollars and countless hours obsessing over 'eating right.'
In this groundbreaking work, Alan Levinovitz takes on bestselling physicians and dietitians, exposing the myths behind how we come to believe which foods are good and which are bad—and pointing the way to a truly healthful life, free from anxiety about what we eat.
'Levinovitz brings science back into the picture in an eye-opening way.' — Brian Wansink, PhD, author of Slim by Design and Mindless Eating.
Alan Levinovitz is an assistant professor at James Madison University. His writing has appeared in Slate, Salon, Wired, The Believer, and The Millions, as well as academic journals. He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with his wife, his daughter, and a cat. Fake cheese is his one food taboo.
