"This is the right book at the right time for a nation obsessed with protein. Most of what we think we know about protein is misguided or just plain wrong. Kathy Freston and Bruce Friedrich have done a superb job of marshaling in the latest research to dispel myths and reveal the evidence-based truths about how much protein we need, and the difference between bad and good protein. Their conversational tone whisks the reader through compelling science to a clear prescriptive towards a healthier you and a better world-through clean protein."--Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and New York Times Bestselling author of the Blue Zones books
