The Carb Crisis

di PhD Benjamin Bikman (Autore)

BenBella Books, 2026

From the author of Why We Get Sick comes a bold, evidence-based exploration of how excess carbohydrates—even ones you wouldn’t expect—are fueling today’s chronic disease crisis. 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 stabilizing 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.
