Summary
The key to reversing our number one health crisis (obesity, heart disease, and diabetes) lies in the overlooked link between nutrition and flavor. Obesity is not due to the overabundance of fat or carbs or any other specific nutrient in our meals. Instead, we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor -- the tastes we crave -- and the underlying nutrition.
