I make a point of reading the 1-star reviews of paleo-low carb books on Amazon, just for the lulz. For this book, I was startled by the 1-star review from someone named "Seth 'me,'" titled "Terrible scholarship and blatant dishonesty." With plenty of examples, he asserted that the author plagiarized Taubes' GCBC extensively. He also goes on to cite evidence that both Taubes and Teicholz misrepresented some of the evidence they both cite.

It's a well-thought out critique and worth reading.
