Reply #15: He actually doesn't make any recommendations.

He reviews the science. He does so critically and thoroughly. This is not a "nutrition book" per se, it's a piece of science journalism. The conclusions waiting there for the readers to draw are going to make a lot of people deservedly uncomfortable.

The problem with trained nutritionists is, who trained them? They are as much victims of the prevailing paradigms and pronouncements of authority as any of us. My father is a research biochemist with a PhD from a very major American university, whose whole career was spent looking at energy metabolism at the cellular level. He's also the most skeptical and evidence-driven person I know. He's been eating low-carb and low-glycemic-index for the last 30 years, on the basis of his own research.

I'll look into the China Study, thanks.
