Description
The survival switch in our bodies is a powerful mechanism to protect us from starvation. However, when stuck in the "on" position, it becomes a hidden source of weight gain, heart disease, and other common health struggles. Dr. Richard Johnson's groundbreaking research reveals the surprising link between this switch and various health conditions, including gout, kidney disease, and dementia. The fructose-powered survival switch is a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but our modern diet has permanently fixed in the "on" position. Dr. Johnson shares the mounting evidence on how this switch is responsible for excess fat storage and many of the major diseases endemic to the Western world. He also provides a science-based plan to help readers fight back against nature. By exploring the fascinating observations from the animal kingdom, evolution, and history, Dr. Johnson sheds new light on the cause of obesity and the diseases that follow. This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between our diet and our health, and provides a practical guide for readers to take control of their well-being.
