I was looking to buy this book on Amazon.com. I found the review stats interesting. It is about 5 to 1 for people who love the book vs. hate the book. Not many 2 or 3 star reviews - very few people ride the fence on this issue. Browsing the 8 one star reviews, I saw nothing I didn't expect. You know when the review starts out saying "As a registered dietitian..." kind words are not going to follow. Some appeared to have actually read the book - but some probably didn't. I saw comments such as "Another Atkins", "A hack", "poor journalism", etc. One reviewer even described it as another attempt "to make eating these tasty and even addictive fatty foods appear justified by nutritional research". Fat may be satisfying, but addictive? What about the simple carbs? No mention of that. Anyway - something tells me that some of these people will never change their spots - no matter what the evidence is.
