妮娜·泰科尔兹（Nina Teicholz）是一位新闻调查记者，主张放宽对美国饮食中天然脂肪（包括所谓的“饱和脂肪”）的限制。她是《纽约时报》畅销书《脂肪的大意外》（Big Fat Surprise）的作者，这是对数以千计已发表的有关营养与人类健康的科学研究进行的长达十年的研究成果。《经济学人》将其命名为 2014 年排名第一的科学书籍，它还被《华尔街日报》、《福布斯》、《琼斯妈妈》和《图书馆杂志》评为 2014 年*最佳书籍*。 《脂肪的大意外》（Big Fat Surprise） 颠覆了关于膳食脂肪的传统观念，并挑战了营养政策的核心。
《美国临床营养学杂志》对这本书的评论说：“这本书应该被每一位营养科学专业人士阅读。”《英国医学杂志》的一位前编辑说，“泰科尔兹在分析营养科学的弱科学、强个性、既得利益和政治权宜之计方面做了出色的工作。”
在深入研究营养科学近十年之前，泰科尔兹是国家公共广播电台的记者，并为许多出版物做出了贡献，包括《华尔街日报》、《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》、《纽约客》和《经济学人》。她曾就读于耶鲁大学和斯坦福大学，在那里她学习生物学并主修美国研究。她拥有牛津大学硕士学位，曾任哥伦比亚大学全球化与可持续发展中心副主任。她住在纽约市。
Nina Teicholz is an investigative journalist and author of the International (and New York Times) bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise (Simon & Schuster). The Economist named it the #1 science book of 2014, and it was also named a 2014 *Best Book* by the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Mother Jones, and Library Journal. The Big Fat Surprise has upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat and challenged the very core of our nutrition policy.
A review of the book in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said, “This book should be read by every nutritional science professional..” A former editor of the British Medical Journal said, “Teicholz has done a remarkable job in analysing [the] weak science, strong personalities, vested interests, and political expediency” of nutrition science.
Before taking a deep dive into researching nutrition science for nearly a decade, Teicholz was a reporter for National Public Radio and also contributed to many publications, including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker, and The Economist. She attended Yale and Stanford where she studied biology and majored in American Studies. She has a master’s degree from Oxford University and served as associate director of the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. She lives in New York City.
