Thou Shalt Not Eat: How Diet Gurus and the Media Use Bad Science to Make You Fat, Fearful, and Coming Back for More (Kill Your Diet Book 2)

Meat will rot and putrefy in your gut. Wheat will make you bloated and affect your brain function. Sugar causes cancer. If you’re at all listening to the voices of the diet and health industry, you’ve likely heard these claims before. Maybe you’ve even believed some (or all) of them at one time or another. After all, we all want to be healthy, happy, and attractive. Why wouldn’t we follow a guru who claims to offer all three through their magical list of dietary restrictions?

Express an inkling of doubt over the philosophy in one of these groups? Well, then you’re a troll, a shill, a hater. There's a prevalent idea that we live in a toxic, fallen world that makes us all dirty if we aren't constantly vigilant. But is it true? What is that “detox” diet actually detoxing from your system…and by what means?
