Review by Dr. Mike Eades. Very long, graphs and charts, difficult to copy here.

There are separate threads for a WSJ article by same author and Rush Limbaugh's discussion of it, but since the book will be published tomorrow, starting a separate thread for book reviews and analysis of the book itself.

The Eades review is incredibly glowing. I especially liked this part towards the end:
If you are a low-carb dieter, yet you’ve had this kind of nagging doubt about eating saturated fat, this last chapter is for you. What if all the experts are right?, you’ve probably asked yourself. Hell, I’ve asked it myself. I eat a ton of saturated fat, so I’m literally betting my life that saturated fat isn’t harmful. Reading The Big Fat Surprise will relieve you of a lot of angst. It will convert even the fiercest of skeptics, unless they’re so mired in their ideology that they can’t be budged. But just as we saturated fat eaters have suffered our angst, they will now suffer theirs.
