NEW BOOKS: “House of Flame and Shadow” by Sarah J. Maas, “The Frozen River” by Ariel Lawhon, and “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments” (Dewey 616) by Gary Taubes.
BOOK BLURB: “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments” by Gary Taubes, released 2024. The result of Taubes’s work is a reimagining of diabetes care that argues for a recentering of diet – particularly, fewer carbohydrates and more fat – over a reliance on insulin. Taubes argues critically and passionately that doctors and medical researchers should question the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity and renew their focus on clinical trials to resolve controversies that are now a century in the making.
