There's usually only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients—often the most enjoyable ones—are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron Carroll explains, these oversimplifications are both wrong and dangerous: if we stop consuming some of our most demonized ingredients altogether, it may actually hurt us. In \u003ci\u003eThe Bad Food Bible\u003c\/i\u003e, Carroll examines the scientific evidence, showing among other things that you can:    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e·Eat red meat several times a week: \u003c\/b\u003eThe health effects are negligible for most people, and actually positive if you're 65 or older.  \u003cb\u003e·Have a drink or two a day: \u003c\/b\u003eAs long as it's in moderation, it will protect you against cardiovascular disease without much risk.  \u003cb\u003e·Enjoy a gluten-loaded bagel from time to time\u003c\/b\u003e: It has less fat and sugar, fewer calories, and more fiber than a gluten-free one.  \u003cb\u003e·Eat more salt: \u003c\/b\u003eIf your blood pressure is normal, you should be more worried about getting too \u003ci\u003elittle\u003c\/i\u003e sodium than having too much.   \u003cbr\u003eFull of counterintuitive lessons about food we hate to love, \u003ci\u003eThe Bad Food Bible\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone who wants to forge eating habits that are sensible, sustainable, and occasionally indulgent.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104338788592,"sku":"9780544952577","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780544952577_p0.jpg?v=1769916694","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780544952577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
