On: Ask HN: Which is the best book on nutrition?

[chrisa]

Multiple mentions of "How not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger which is great and extensively researched - and he just came out with a new book "How not to Diet" which looks like the same quality.

Also, if you like videos better, there is a huge collection by him on https://nutritionfacts.org/ - searchable by condition (like "cholesterol"), or on his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/NutritionFactsOrg

Spoiler alert: all of his conclusions boil down to just a few things:

- don't drink calories

- eat less processed food

- eat less meat and dairy

- eat more fiber (beans, greens, fruits, veggies)
