简介 Intro

《Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent – and Reverse – It》—— Richard J. Johnson MD

Nature puts a “survival switch” in our bodies to protect us from starvation. Stuck in the “on” position, it’s the hidden source of weight gain, heart disease, and many other common health struggles. But you can turn it off.

Dr. Richard Johnson has been on the cutting edge of research into the cause of obesity for more than a decade. His team’s discovery of the fructose-powered survival switch – a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but that our modern diet has permanently fixed in the “on” position, where it becomes a fat switch – revolutionized the way we think about why we gain weight.

In Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, he details the mounting evidence on how this switch is responsible both for excess fat storage and for many of the major diseases endemic to the Western world, including heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Dr. Johnson also reveals the surprising link between the survival switch and health conditions such as gout, kidney disease, liver disease, stroke – and even behavioral issues like addiction and ADHD. And, most important, he shares a science-based plan to help listeners fight back against nature.

Guided by ongoing clinical research – plus fascinating observations from the animal kingdom, evolution, and history – Dr. Johnson takes you along on an eye-opening investigation into:

What you can do to turn off your survival switch
What we have in common with hibernating bears, sperm whales, and the world’s fattest bird
Why it’s fructose (not glucose) that drives insulin resistance and metabolic disease
The foods we eat that trigger the body to make its own fructose
The surprising role salt and dehydration play in fat accumulation

Dr. Johnson not only provides new recommendations for how we can prevent or treat obesity, but also how we can use this information to resrcce our risk of developing disease. Nature wants us to be fat, and when we understand why, we gain the tools we need to lose weight and optimize our health.

读者评论 Readers\’ Comments

信息量如此之大。我一直在等待这本书的出版。这让我大开眼界，非常感谢他的研究和知识分享。也许我终于可以减掉这些顽固的脂肪了。在书结束前已经瘦了2磅。良好的开端。

I really enjoyed this book and found it extremely revealing. I felt it had a lot of information I wasn\’t exposed to in the past. I am overly impressed with the way Dr Johnson is able to formulate questions and then find/shape/create studies that would answer those questions. That seems like an almost impossible task. Then, being able to take that research and put it into a book like this, it\’s just remarkable. I am very well read in the very low carb community. Although there were a few parts that I disagreed with, I felt that his point of view was very well articulated and not argumentative. I found his humble approach to science and the betterment of mankind very refreshing. I would recommend this book to anyone! I am still blown away by the addiction components in fructose that are discussed in this book and exposed by the science… I still can\’t stop thinking about it.

One of the better summary of the science about weight loss. Superbly written. And covers all the aspects. With insights on how to affect your metabolic rate

I waited 25 years for this information. Just phenomenal! I highly recommend this book! Get it!

作者 Author

Richard J. Johnson MD

Richard J. Johnson, M.D. is a practicing physician and clinical scientist who is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of sugar and its component fructose, in obesity and diabetes. His new book, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, tells of the discovery of a biological switch that helps animals become fat and insulin resistant to help them survive periods of food shortage. Work led by the author and his research team have shown that this switch is turned on in many people and is playing a key role in the obesity epidemic. This has led to significant breakthroughs in both understanding the cause of obesity as well as how to prevent or treat it. His science is highly regarded and highly cited, and he has published over 700 papers. He previously authored The Sugar Fix with Timothy Gower in 2008 (Rodale) and The Fat Switch in 2012 (Mercola.com) He is currently a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver. He lives in Aurora, Colorado with his wife, Olga, children, Tracy and Ricky, and two miniature golden doodles.
