The Bad Food Bible: Why You Can (and Maybe Should) Eat Everything You Thought You Couldn't

The Bad Food Bible: Why You Can (and Maybe Should) Eat Everything You Thought You Couldn't by Aaron E. Carroll 

Eat whatever you want, it is probably not as bad for you as you think. But watch out for sugar, that probably is worse for you than you think. That pretty much sums up this book. The author spent time looking at various studies and found faults with most of them. Substances are often identified as "bad" after rats were fed an amount many times larger than humans consume. However, rats are not humans, and humans would not consume that much alone. Other times confounding factors are missing. Seems an easy option is to just eat appropriate quantities of what makes you feel good as long as it is not too heavily processed.
