This is a blog of Seth's posted in a comment (Amazon deleted it from his review).

Quote:
In his whopper of a diet book Good Calories, Bad Calories Gary Taubes blatantly lies about makes a mistake when reporting the results of the Y&H paper. He claims that the link between fat and heart disease vanishes if no countries are excluded from the analysis.


This actually seems open to interpretation to me. Knock out a few outliers, everything looks pretty random to me. Take a single level of fat intake on the "high" end--what you get is pillars, countries spanning a wide range, from high levels of heart disease to low. One thing that is shown--high fat, low heart disease aren't incompatible.

Fun in the comments, Plant Positive shows up and accuses Seth of plagiarism. Seth pleads that he's innocent. Of course, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
