The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet by Nina Teicholz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow, so cooking in the vegetable oils is worse than eating lard, and a bowl of beets is worse than a plate of bacon and eggs ... Well, it looks like giving moneyed interests and politicians control of the application of food science benefits their pocketbooks at the cost of our quality of life. That's congress for you, give them disputed science based on less then three dozen post-WWII Cretans around Lent and they call it a food pyramid like industry wants. (Give them rarely disputed science in contradiction to industry and they go against it, of course...)
This is a cogent, well-researched and detailed attack on the foundations of the Western low-fat, carb-encouraging diet
