Bestselling author Mark Bittman and physician David Katz cut through
all the noise on food, health, and diet to give you the real answers you
need
What is the "best" diet? Do calories matter? And when it comes to
protein, fat, and carbs, which ones are good and which are bad? Mark
Bittman and health expert David Katz answer all these questions and more
in a lively and easy-to-read Q&A format. Inspired by their viral hit
article on Grub Street--one of New York magazine's most popular and
most-shared articles--Bittman and Katz share their clear, no-nonsense
perspective on food and diet, answering questions covering everything
from basic nutrients to superfoods to fad diets. Topics include dietary
patterns (Just what should humans eat?); grains (Aren't these just
"carbs"? Do I need to avoid gluten?); meat and dairy (Does grass-fed
matter?); alcohol (Is drinking wine actually good for me?); and more.
Throughout, Bittman and Katz filter the science of diet and nutrition
through a lens of common sense, delivering straightforward advice with a
healthy dose of wit.
