Plot summary
One in three Americans is pre-diabetic, and many of them are unaware. Type 2 diabetes is no longer a disease only of the obese and elderly. Millions who exercise and follow a USDA-recommended diet are classified as skinny-fat, and the medical world largely accepts the link between the standard American diet and metabolic disorders. A man who did not resemble the typical adult onset diabetes patient is diagnosed with the disease and wants to know why. He examines where the ideas about healthful and unhealthful eating came from, and finds that much of what he understood rested on myths or fifty-year-old science. Authors and doctors from around the world talk through the problems and the possible fixes.
