{"product_id":"the-carb-crisis","title":"The Carb Crisis","description":"Carbs make up over half of our daily routines, according to conventional dietary recommendations - despite decades of scientific research linking carbs to a spectrum of health issues including obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune and metabolic disorders, and more. But carbs don't actually fuel the body - glucose does, and it does it without causing inflammation, harming the gut, or inviting long-term disease. In this persuasive, contemporary case against carbs, internationally renowned scientist Benjamin Bikman draws a clear line between carb-heavy diets and today's most common health crises and demystifies the biochemistry that allows us to thrive on low-carb and even carb-free diets. With clear, science-based recommendations for long-term wellness, The Carb Crisis empowers readers to take back their metabolic health to: Understand how carbs slow metabolisms and hijack the body's dopamine system to cause cravings and overeating; Practice intentional, strategic dietary choices to prevent heart disease, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and other chronic health conditions; Proactively improve cognitive and mental health by stabilising blood sugar and hormone levels; Control carb intake and replace refined carbs with whole foods, 'anti-carbs,' and other healthier options better health, mental clarity, and longevity; Accessible, authoritative, and urgent, The Carb Crisis is more than a diet book - it's a call to action that disrupts conventional dietary wisdom and reclaim our health and relationship with carbs.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57524771291509,"sku":"9781637749722","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781637749722.jpg?v=1787743206","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-carb-crisis","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
