Life
editShe attended Yale and Stanford University where she studied biology and majored in American Studies. She holds a master’s degree from Oxford University.
From 1992 to 1997, she was a reporter for NPR in Latin America, covering business, politics and the arts. From 1998 to 1999, she was a reporter for KQED radio in the San Francisco Bay area.
She has written for various publications including The Wall Street Journal [2], The Washington Post [3], The New York Times [4], The Los Angeles Times [5], CNN.com [6], The Atlantic [7], and Gourmet Magazine [8].
In The Big Fat Surprise, she argues that saturated fats do not cause heart disease and a low-fat diet does not protect against obesity and type 2 diabetes. The book was named one of the Top 10 Non-Fiction Books of 2014 by Wall Street Journal[9] and one of the year's best science books by The Economist. [10]. Teicholz published her research in the British Medical Journal in 2015 [11], and was met with criticism from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Expert Committee [12]. Her views also drew criticism from medical doctors [13] and nutrition experts. [14]. Despite backlash and requests for retraction, the British Medical Journal stood by its decision to publish Teicholz's work [15].
Teicholz's criticism of current dietary guidelines has received coverage in such publications as Politico [16], Time [17], Beef Magazine [18], The Week [19]. She has been criticized by Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor, of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University and author of Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health [20], the Dietary Guideliness Advisory Committee [21], and the Department of Health and Human Services [22].
Teicholz also authored the forward to the 2018 book "What the Fat? Fat’s In, Sugar’s Out: How to Live the Ultimate Low Carb Healthy Fat Lifestyle"[23] by Grant Schofield, Caryn Zinn and Craig Rodger.
Teicholz lives in New York City[24]
