By now, the low-carb diet's refrain is a familiar one: "Bread is bad for you. Fat doesn't matter. Carbs are the real reason you can't lose weight. In The Low-Carb Fraud, longtime leader in the nutritional science field T. Colin Campbell outlines where and how the low-carb proponents get it wrong: Where the belief came from that carbohydrates are bad and why it persists despite all the evidence to the contrary. The foods we misleadingly refer to as "carbs" aren't all created equal, and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being.

Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell University, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found, when combined with findings in Campbell's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet.

McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, prove that a starch-rich diet can actually help us lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases.

In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.

#audible1 review
- By Dawn on 2018-09-18
Publisher's Summary
Nearly half of Americans take at least one prescription medicine, with almost a quarter taking three or more, as diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dementia grow more prevalent than ever. The problem with medicating common ailments, such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, is that drugs treat symptoms - and may even improve test results - without addressing the cause: diet.
Overmedicated, overfed, and malnourished, most Americans fail to realize the answer to lower disease rates doesn't lie in more pills but in the foods we eat. With so much misleading nutritional information regarded as common knowledge, from "everything in moderation" to "avoid carbs", the average American is ill-equipped to recognize the deadly force of abundant, cheap, unhealthy food options that not only offer no nutritional benefits but actually bring on disease.
In Food over Medicine, Pamela A. Popper, PhD, ND, and Glen Merzer invite the listener into a conversation about the dire state of American health - the result of poor nutrition choices stemming from food politics and medical misinformation. But more importantly, they share the key to getting and staying healthy for life.
Backed by numerous scientific studies, Food over Medicine details how dietary choices either build health or destroy it. Food over Medicine reveals the power and practice of optimal nutrition in an accessible way.

Necessary reading <br />
The information I wish I had known before accepting surgery.
Dr. Popper covers the reality of many medical interventions. Side effects of some medical interventions are completely unknown to the patients and they find out only after the fact.

Informative despite controversies
I have enjoyed listening to the discussion in the audible version covering many aspects of the subjects of healthy diet. That happened despite the controversial nature of many points and despite my tendency to disagree with the authors in multiple points. I advised all those interested in the subject of nutrition to listen to it as it helps balancing their views.

Take with a grain of salt
This could have been a helpful book if it had been about nutrition and healthy diets. There is actually some good information here, but more time should have been spent emphasizing the benefits of a plant based diet and less time on conspiracy theories. Just report results, using large randomized reliable studies, not "I always" or "I have seen"... there is way too much antidotal information. Statements like "this is true of all medical physicians" is a broad sweeping statement and causes me to want to discount the content as a whole. I'm not sure what physicians the authors have visited, but they have obviously had some bad experiences. As a family physician, I take great offense in the inference that all physicians are ignorant concerning nutrition and are merely puppets of the government, big industry and are money hungry. Skip this book, there is a lot of good information about plant based diets out there, but this is not one of them.

Compelling information about how food impacts our health and how the medical community, agri-big-business and the government ignore these facts. We truly need to be our own advocate and take responsibility for our health.

Wish I read more reviews, or something prior ..
Although interesting in its approach, I wonder why the authors couldn't make it more fact-based, than anecdotal. "Oh yeah, this, this and this, are the solution. Simple." doesn't really convince me of anything. As mentioned elsewhere, there is a business associated with this material thereby making it somewhat biased. Somewhat infomercial-like. Not confident in the material presented as helping much with regaining control over the food we eat. Our food is so toxic, that it goes beyond calories or selection. Would recommend looking at what foods cause inflammation, and why, as an alternate starting point.

I enjoyed the information presented. Food over Medicine is very educational; however the narration reminded me of an infomercial.. This made it hard to continue listening.
