---------- Originally Aired on the Good Foods Podcast ----------Nina and I discuss her book, which was released a decade ago and continues to impact the citizen scientist in all of us. Nina talks about how she started out writing an article about trans fats and how that segued into the book.It took years to research and eventually be published but ultimately, The Big Fat Surprise stilL stands as the go-to manual for anyone that is concerned and focusing on their health.Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big FatSurprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—andspurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease.Named a *Best Book* of the year by the Economist, Wall Street Journal and Mother Jones, among others, it continues to be called a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the amazing story of how we came to believe fat is bad for health—and what a better diet might look like. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Teicholz is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities and previously served as associate director of the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. Teicholz lives in New York city with her husband and two sons.Website ➡️ https://ninateicholz.com/Substack Newsletter ➡️ https://unsettledscience.substack.comTwitter ➡️ @bigfatsurprise https://twitter.com/bigfatsurpriseFacebook ➡️ @Ninateicholz https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholzLinkedIn ➡️ Nina Teicholz https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/Instagram ➡️ @Ninateicholz https://www.instagram.com/ninateicholz/The Good Foods podcast was created and hosted by Shardan Sandoval in March of 2023 and was active until September of 2024.
