Interview with "Good Calories, Bad Calories" author Gary Taubes

"Gary Taubes's Good Calories, Bad Calories is easily the most
important book on diet and health to be published in the past one
hundred years. It is clear, fast-paced and exciting to read, rigorous,
authoritative, and a beacon of hope for all those who struggle with
problems of weight regulation and general health--as who does not? If
Taubes were a scientist rather than a gifted, resourceful science
journalist, he would deserve and receive the Nobel Prize in
Medicine." - Richard Rhodes, winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"If Taubes were inclined to sensationalism, he might have titled this
book 'The Great Low-Fat Diet Hoax.' Instead, he tackles the subject
with the seriousness and scientific insight it deserves, building a
devastating case against the low-fat, high-carb way of life endorsed
by so many nutrition experts in recent years. With diabetes and heart
disease at stake as well as obesity, those 'experts' owe us an abject
apology." - Barbara Ehrenreich

I did. I was hurrying a bit since I had taken it from the library and
there was a waiting list so I couldn't renew.

I've since bought my own copy, but haven't had time for a leisurely
re-read yet.
