Editorial Reviews

Review

“A factually accurate and highly entertaining work. It provides an effective counter to the fearmongering and false promises purveyed by sensationalists masquerading as scientists. This book should be essential reading for anyone who contemplates following a restrictive diet and for all health practitioners who use diets as the central platform of their therapeutic approach.” -- Peter Gibson, MD, Director of Gastroenterology at the Alfred Hospital and Monash University

“In the world of food fears, this is a landmark book. Levinovitz brings science back into the picture in an eye-opening, punchy, and entertaining way that will change many of the single-sided conversations about food.
The Gluten Liewill put a lot of minds at ease, and bring a lot of balance back into diets.” -- Brian Wansink, PhD, author of ― Slim by Design and Mindless Eating

“Levinovitz shows us how to stop being afraid of food. Everyone truly interested in nutrition should read this book and get back to the joy of eating.” -- Philip Zeitler, MD, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine

“The cure for Dr. Oz-itis and Oprah syndrome. Well researched, easy to read, and incredibly informative.” -- Jen Gunter, MD, author of ―
The Preemie Primer

“Stop poisoning your friends and family—with junk science nutritional claims. Feed them
The Gluten Lieinstead and enjoy lunch again." -- Hank Campbell, founder of Science 2.0 and co-author of ― Science Left Behind

“With a thorough and incisive investigation into what science really tells us about gluten, fat, sugar, and detox, Levinovitz argues persuasively that we can stop worrying about what we ‘should’ eat and concentrate on enjoying food that appeals to our palate. Well-written, entertaining, solidly referenced, and perhaps the best debunking of popular diet myths ever.” -- Harriet Hall, MD, Associate Editor, ―
Science Based Medicine

“A fun and evidence-based inoculation of clarity into an area permeated with confusion and controversy. It is a must-read for anyone fed up with all the noise surrounding nutritional advice.” -- Tim Caulfield, Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta, and author of ―
The Cure for Everything

“A fascinating read. Professor Levinovitz uses the saga of gluten sensitivity as one of several compelling object lessons.” -- Nortin M. Hadler, MD, Emeritus Professor of Medicine & Microbiology/Immunology UNC, Chapel Hill and author of ―
The Last Well Person and Worried Sick

Celiac Disease is REAL the Doctor is giving DEADLY advice to the public.

Celiac Disease is REAL the Doctor is giving DEADLY advice to the public.
My kid is allergic to gluten to the point he cannot breathe. It's called anaphylaxis. This supposed doctor calling this lie is extremely dangerous and just surprised this is medical advice coming from a doctor about nutrition and food allergies in general. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. This book wasn't at all what I thought it was. Majority of the book is misleading information to the public. This doctor shouldn't make another book outside of his field. Celiac disease is also something to not be taken likely or viewed as a lie. That's not an option but a medical fact or we wouldn't need epinephrine pens. That doctor in my opinion is a quack. I rarely ever write a bad review for anyone but this book had it coming. Please, don't waste your money or time on this book.
Thank you for your feedback
