by Anthony Warner
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
We are getting fat and sick in increasing numbers and it's placing a devastating burden on our healthcare systems. Scientists in every field are desperate to explain this epidemic and stave off a modern health disaster. But what's to blame? Carbs, fat or sugar? Gut microbes or genes? Laziness or poverty? In The Truth About Fat, Anthony Warner scrutinises the explanations of academics, doctors, researchers and journalists. As he lays out the best evidence available, he rails against quack theories preying on the desperate and considers whether, in the absence of easy answers, we have blindly accepted the shaming of vulnerable members of our society. Righteously indignant, Warner's pursuit of the truth will have you laughing, but leave you furious, as he cuts to the core of a crisis that affects us all.
