Nina Teicholz

Nina Teicholz, Ph.D., is an investigative science journalist, the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and a New York Times bestselling author. In the nine years she spent researching and writing her book, she discovered that nutrition science, since the 1940s, has been rife with weak data and conflicts of interest. In her work with the Nutrition Coalition, Teicholz has additionally raised awareness of the fundamental problems with the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. She has co-authored influential papers on the guidelines with top nutritionists, and she was largely responsible for the first-ever outside peer review of the guidelines process by the National Academies of Sciences. She has been a leading voice for evidence-based guidelines that prevent and reverse chronic disease in America.
