Is Butter a Carb?: Unpicking Fact From Fiction In The World Of Nutrition For Better Eating Habits Book

Is Butter a Carb?: Unpicking Fact from Fiction in the World of Nutrition is a clear, accessible paperback for anyone puzzled by modern diet messages — parents, teachers, health-minded readers, and curious book lovers. This brand new paperback edition cuts through fad diets, hearsay and headlines to explain the real science behind fat, carbs, gluten, gut health and the growing relationship between food and mood. It’s ideal for readers seeking evidence-based nutrition guidance without the fluff.

What this book covers

This engaging title explores common myths and the shaky evidence that often supports them. Chapters examine why fat or carbohydrates aren’t inherently “bad,” and why, for most people, gluten isn’t the dietary villain it’s been made out to be. The authors also unpack the diet industry’s influence on public perception, highlight how anecdotal evidence can mislead, and explain the difference between true allergies and food intolerances.

Key topics inside:

• How to evaluate nutrition claims and avoid being swayed by anecdotes.
• Why dietary fats and carbohydrates are both important parts of a balanced diet.
• Clarifying gluten — who truly needs to avoid it and who doesn’t.
• Investigations into the diet industry, weight stigma, and cultural attitudes toward food.
• Gut health fundamentals and the emerging science linking food and mood.
• Practical distinctions between allergies and intolerances, and how to respond.
