I agree with that as well. Scholarship and the truth is what we are all after, preferably with a minimum of hyperbole. Though I have long loved Dr Davis's blog and website, I also think he stretched things in Wheat Belly. I could hardly finish it. But I never had that feeling with Taubes and aside from a few minor factual errors, I don't have that feeling with Big Fat Surprise either. They both present My Reality pretty well.
I'm curious who here has followed up the accusations in the Amazon review and confirmed that they are in fact true.
Also, what constitute "complete omissions" and "misuse of research"?
Who, in your opinion, has presented the closest version of the truth of what we should eat?
I appreciate you breaking down the "Masai Problem", aj cohn, and will be looking into who said what later this afternoon.
