"A vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food." --Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food""Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist who does not accept conventional wisdom." --"The New York Times""A very important book." --Dr. Andrew Weil "Brilliant and enlightening. . . . Taubes is a relentless researcher." --"The Washington Post""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." --Richard Rhodes"A watershed. . . . Lucid and lively. . . . It could literally change the way you eat, the way you look and how long you live." --"Minneapolis Star Tribune""Taubes 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." --Barbara Ehrenreich
