The Bad Food Bible: Why You Can (and Maybe Should) Eat

The Bad Food Bible: Why You Can (and Maybe Should) Eat Everything You Thought You Couldn't

Physician and popularÂ New York Times UpshotÂ contributor Aaron Carroll mines the latest evidenceÂ to show that many â€œbadâ€ ingredients actually arenâ€™t unhealthy, and in some cases are essential to our well-being.

Advice about food can be confusing. There's usually only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredientsâ€”often the most enjoyableÂ onesâ€”are bad for you, full stop.Â But as AaronÂ Carroll explains, these oversimplifications are both wrong and dangerous: if we stop consuming some of our most demonized ingredients altogether, it may actuallyÂ hurt us. In The Bad Food Bible, CarrollÂ examines the scientific evidence, showing among other things that you can:Â Â
Â
Â·Eat red meat several times a week: The health effects are negligible for most people, and actually positive if you're 65 or older.Â
Â·Have a drink or two a day: As long as it's in moderation, it will protect you against cardiovascular disease without much risk.Â
Â·Enjoy a gluten-loaded bagel from time to time: It has less fat and sugar, fewerÂ calories, and more fiber than a gluten-free one.Â
Â·Eat more salt: If your blood pressure is normal, you should be more worried about getting too little sodium than having too much.Â
Â
Full of counterintuitive lessons about foodÂ we hate to love,Â The Bad Food Bible is for anyone who wants to forge eating habits that are sensible, sustainable, and occasionally indulgent.
