Almost every day it seems a new study is published that shows you are at risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or death due to something you’ve just eaten for lunch. Many of us no longer know what to eat or who to believe. In Nutrition in Crisis distinguished biochemist Richard Feinman, PhD, cuts through the noise, explaining the intricacies of nutrition and human metabolism in accessible terms. He lays out the tools you need to navigate the current confusion in medical literature and its increasingly bizarre reflection in the media.
At the same time, Nutrition in Crisis offers an unsparing critique of the nutritional establishment, which continues to demonize fat and refute the benefits of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets—all despite decades of evidence to the contrary. Feinman tells the story of the first low-carbohydrate revolution fifteen years ago, how it began, what killed it, and why a second revolution is now reaching a fever pitch. He exposes the backhanded tactics of a regressive nutritional establishment that ignores good data and common sense, and highlights the innovative work of those researchers who have broken rank.
Entertaining, informative, and irreverent, Feinman paints a broad picture of the nutrition world the beauty of the underlying biochemistry; the embarrassing failures of the medical establishment; the preeminence of low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss, diabetes, other metabolic diseases, and even cancer; and what’s wrong with the constant reports that the foods we’ve been eating for centuries represent a threat rather than a source of pleasure.

"There is a rumbling and growing community of people who now accept that our nutrition knowledge has been intentionally manipulated to promote the diet- heart hypothesis. Doctors, somewhat cloned during med school and specialty training, are slow to accept their need for critical analysis skills to free them from blinkered adherence to long standing compromised nutrition dogma. This book should be a necessary read for all medical doctors. Every chapter is clear, understandable, and insightfully provocative."

Nutrition in Crisis Flawed Studies Misleading Advice and the Real Science of Human Metabolism edition by Richard David Feinman Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
- I am only half way through the book but what I have read so far amazes me. There are many research studies that I had not heard of before that back up the low carb/Keto way of eating, especially for people with diabetes. I highly recommend this book to all diabetics wanting to heal themselves.
- A much better tome than his previous work. While the snarkiness towards more conventional dietary interventions is a bit tiresome, he goes into considerable detail as to the underlying biochemistry that he believes is central to obesity and weight loss. While the idea that excess adiposity is driven by an interaction between diet and the endocrine system is not well accepted by mainstream science, he presents a compelling argument in favor of it. Possibly a bit much for a lay person (can be a bit technical) but a worthy read for anyone interested in the topic of weight gain and loss.
- There is a rumbling and growing community of people who now accept that our nutrition knowledge has been intentionally manipulated to promote the diet- heart hypothesis. Doctors, somewhat cloned during med school and specialty training, are slow to accept their need for critical analysis skills to free them from blinkered adherence to long standing compromised nutrition dogma. This book should be a necessary read for all medical doctors. Every chapter is clear, understandable, and insightfully provocative.
- I work for Richard Feinman. I ended up with the job (and benefits of carbohydrate restriction) after reading Taubes – and finding out this low-carb stuff really works. I was then attracted to Richard’s work with its clear writing, sense of humor, and Shakespeare references! He admits that Taubes is the better writer but Richard always says his role model is A. J. Liebling who said he could write faster than anybody who could write better and could write better than anybody who could write faster. They are different writers, of course. Richard is a practicing scientist and, while he has an engaging style, on the science, he is careful not to overstate. What he says in this book he knows. I’m lucky to have an insider’s perch on someone (Richard) who, as a scientist, not a journalist, has an insider's perch - and that’s what I want to suggest is the value for potential readers.
What is important about this book is that there is nothing like it. You can see the mind of the practicing biochemist. It would be surprising if you could catch on to all biochemistry in one book. It's one that tells you about how to read scientific papers and even a bit of science history and some real, practical, nutrition advice.
There’s a great chapter one of Richard's biochemistry colleagues who found herself, ironically, with LADA latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (which is late Type 1). The book describes how she recognized it, dealt with it, and how she’s doing now.
Here’s one quote from the book
“If we cure diabetes by first curing cancer, it would not be the strangest thing that ever happened in the history of medicine.†It probably would be, but it’s worth finding out what he means.
Obviously, five stars for the boss’s book but then again, I took the job because of the five-star message. - The medical establishment is all about the evidence. Finally, here it is. This book is for those of us who truly want to understand the current research. While it may require some concentration, understanding the science is the first step to being able to decipher the medical literature. For those of us not burdened with a biochemistry degree, Dr. Feinman enables us to make informed decisions regarding our nutrition and our health. If you dig into this book, you can appreciate the historical bias of nutrition research and be prepared to assess future studies for their own merit. You will no longer be at the mercy of the media or "expert" opinion. You can look at the evidence yourself.
- Nutrition/diet 'information' is a mess! So many 'agendas' impacting our media and medical sources, it's almost impossible to know the current scientific 'truth'. This book has the answers we need to truly utilize real current science for the sake of our most precious possession... our health.
- This book is heavy into biochemistry and does discuss the misleading flaws of nutritional science. There is such fake news about diets and health just so the food industry manufacturers can sell their products. Obesity and T2 diabetes are at an all time high in this country. Dr Feinman has written a book that explain about how low carb eating can reverse these. Read this book if you want to know how shoddy some research has been just to convince the public that all ‘their’ processed foods are safe. This book is deep reading but very worth the read.
- This book is similar in style to Gary Taubes' book Why We Get Fat, although it is not as well written. This book would be best for medical professionals who want an inside look at where nutrition research comes from and how it then affects nutrition policy. This book is too dense for average lay person in my opinion. I am a wholistic nutrition professional and heard most of this information before. I agree with it, but have found better written books on the subject that would appeal to an average reader.
