This presentation features Nina Teicholz, Author, and investigative journalist who, in her book The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, overturned 40 years of official dietary advice and showed that meat, cheese, and butter are nutritious and need not be avoided.
At this event, Ms. Teicholz tells of her discovery of the systematic distortion of dietary advice by expert scientists, government and big business to the detriment of the health of Americans.
She chronicles the succession of unfortunate discoveries she made, and she describes how the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit, bipartisan group which she founded and directs, works to educate policy makers about the need for reform of nutrition policy so that it is evidence-based.
