In The Truth about Food, one of the world’s leading authorities on lifestyle medicine, health promotion, and the prevention of chronic disease lays out not just what he knows about diet and health, but how and why he knows it. This book uniquely empowers readers to benefit from what’s fundamentally and reliably true – while setting us all free from fads, false claims, and distractions by showing how to differentiate truth from the exploitative “lies” that abound. This book would be much shorter if it only detailed what we know to be true today. It shows how to keep up with new findings, too, and most importantly- how never to be duped again. Based on science, informed by uncommon sense, and aligned with the global consensus of diverse experts, The Truth about Food is an invitation to add years to your life and life to your years; to love the food that loves you back for a lifetime; and to enjoy the comforting confidence that only comes from genuine understanding.
“You’ve got a terrific book in front of you, written by a doctor who is woke, devoted, caring, and deeply concerned not only about what and how we eat but the impact it has on ourselves, our environment, other living beings, and the planet in general. This is a big book, addressing some of the most important topics of our time, and Dr. David Katz is the ideal person to put it together.”
- From the Foreword by Mark Bittman; NY Times Best-selling Author
“The truth about food is simple, while the lies about food are complicated. And, with that statement, Dr. David Katz helps insulate us from the next food fad by making sure we are armed with the truth, and nothing but the truth. It is an audacious undertaking and Dr. Katz, who has dedicated his professional life to this, is perhaps the perfect person to be educating all of us. Facts do matter, and The Truth About Food is full of them. The Truth about Food should have a home in everyone’s kitchen.”

This book is a very important and worthy addition to the career-long efforts of a public health champion.”

“For decades Dr. David Katz has relentlessly grappled with almost each and every nutrition controversy that arises, whether in a classroom lecture, conference proceedings, or Op-Eds and social media. The breadth and depth of his grasp of the field of nutrition science knowledge is unparalleled. He is gifted in his ability to translate nutrition knowledge into powerfully compelling explanations of the Truth About Food. The topics are varied, but the approach is always the same: grounded in scientific evidence, translated in practical terms, and delivered with an engaging blend of humor and blunt honesty.”
- Christopher D. Gardner, PhD; Professor, Medicine (Research), Stanford University
“Dr. Katz provides a no-nonsense, practical guide for our most basic of human needs–how to eat. He gives us a set of ‘truths’ to follow and he brings back something fundamental — the joy of eating food that is good for you and for the planet. This has become my go to resource whenever I hear the latest study about which foods are ‘bad’ or ‘good’.”
- Danielle Nierenberg; President and Founder, Food Tank
“The truth about food is simple; the lies are complicated, David Katz writes in this important and timely book. And bravely, he wades through all that would influence our decisions on what to eat: the marketing by the packaged-goods industry, the junk science that promotes fad diets, the multitude of everyday choices we face in choosing what to avoid, and more importantly, what to eat in its stead. This book is empowering.”
–Michael Moss; Author, #1 New York Times Bestseller: Salt, Sugar, Fat; Pulitzer Prize Winner
“Food can be great medicine or deceptive snake oil. With this book the solid scientist in David Katz tells how to gain the benefits and avoid being a pawn of the deceptive. It is a great work that all should own for health and for their family’s health. This book is a tour de force of the science (and truth) about food. And despite its length, it is quick (and empowering) to read cover to cover. Wow – this should be everyone’s favorite book on food, even Big Ag, Big Food, and Big Media’s.”
