Synopsis
El libro enseña al lector a dejar de sentirse culpable por los alimentos que consume y volver a tener amor por su alimentación, sin que ésta deje de ser balanceada. El autor asegura que no es la primera vez que se pone de moda un hábito alimenticio celíaco. Incluso, Levinovitz habla del efecto "nocebo”, es decir, cuando aseguras –sin conocimiento de causa– que algo te hace daño, realmente tiene efectos negativos en ti, sin que necesariamente sea dañino para tu cuerpo. La mentira del gluten está pensado para aquellos lectores que sufren una especie de “latigazo alimenticio” diario con cada cosa que comen. Este es un trabajo periodístico que busca derrocar los mitos acerca de la dieta sin gluten.
Gluten. Salt. Sugar. Fat. These are the villains of the American diet—or so a host of doctors and nutritionists would have you believe. But the science is far from settled and we are racing to eliminate wheat and corn syrup from our diets because we’ve been lied to. The truth is that almost all of us can put the buns back on our burgers and be just fine.Remember when butter was the enemy? Now it’s good for you. You may have lived through times when the Atkins Diet was good, then bad, then good again; you may have wondered why all your friends cut down on salt or went Paleo; and you might even be thinking about cutting out wheat products from your own diet.
For readers suffering from dietary whiplash, The Gluten Lie is the answer. Scientists and physicians know shockingly little about proper nutrition that they didn’t know a thousand years ago, even though Americans spend billions of dollars and countless hours obsessing over “eating right.”In this groundbreaking work, Alan Levinovitz takes on bestselling physicians and dietitians, exposing the myths behind how we come to believe which foods are good and which are bad—and pointing the way to a truly healthful life, free from anxiety about what we eat.
