About the book
Gary Taubes challenges the dominant nutritional consensus by questioning whether all calories are truly equal. Through rigorous analysis of historical scientific research, he traces how conventional wisdom about nutrition was built on fragile assumptions and flawed studies.
The author argues that refined carbohydrates, especially sugar, are the real villains of the obesity and chronic disease epidemic, not fat as had been preached for decades. 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' is an illuminating investigation that invites readers to reconsider everything they learned about diet and health.
