I discovered this book in the News section, but wonder if more people who might be interested in it are likely to be reading here. It's Gary Taubes, Good Calorie, Bad Calorie and it is fantastic. The science, the logic, the history of why the government, scientists, doctors, and journalists have been shoving low-fat diets (which are, of course, high carb) down the throats of the increasingly obese American public for the last 50 years. I have been reading it all weekend--it is dense, difficult reading in spots (a little like a Russian novel meets a science text) but gosh, it/s fascinating and enraging and energizing. Anyone who has doubted their committment to low-carb, anyone who has had to defend their diet to friends and relatives simply MUST read this book.
The only bad side effect is that I am simply foaming at the mouth about what I have learned here. I hope I don't explode at the next person who says "calorie" or "exercise" or "low-fat" to me.
