There's usually only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients—often the most enjoyable ones—are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron Carroll explains, these oversimplifications are both wrong and dangerous: if we stop consuming some of our most demonized ingredients altogether, it may actually hurt us.

'Eat organic!' 'Go vegan!' The cacophony of dietary doctrine has reached a fever pitch.

From the crusade against butter to our vehement disdain for genetically modified foods, Carroll uses historical examples and rarely published scientific evidence to help us see through the current pandemonium. His commonsense approach lays the groundwork for a healthy relationship with 'sinful' foods; the only commandment in \u003cem\u003eThe Bad Food Bible\u003c\/em\u003e is moderation.\" \u003cstrong\u003e—iBooks, 2017 Favorites\u003c\/strong\u003e   “Eat, drink and relax, already.
