  "description": "Carbs make up over half of our daily routines, according to conventional dietary recommendations - despite decades of scientific research linking carbs to a spectrum of health issues including obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune and metabolic disorders, and more. But carbs don't actually fuel the body - glucose does, and it does it without causing inflammation, harming the gut, or inviting long-term disease. In this persuasive, contemporary case against carbs, internationally renowned scientist Benjamin Bikman draws a clear line between carb-heavy diets and today's most common health crises and demystifies the biochemistry that allows us to thrive on low-carb and even carb-free diets. With clear, science-based recommendations for long-term wellness, The Carb Crisis empowers readers to take back their metabolic health to: Understand how carbs slow metabolisms and hijack the body's dopamine system to cause cravings and overeating; Practice intentional, strategic dietary choices to prevent heart disease, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and other chronic health conditions; Proactively improve cognitive and mental health by stabilising blood sugar and hormone levels; Control carb intake and replace refined carbs with whole foods, 'anti-carbs,' and other healthier options better health, mental clarity, and longevity; Accessible, authoritative, and urgent, The Carb Crisis is more than a diet book - it's a call to action that disrupts conventional dietary wisdom and reclaim our health and relationship with carbs.",
