Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet ...
New in Paperback
Quote:
Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health, by Gary Taubes. (Anchor, $16.95.) The low-fat-diet orthodoxy was first challenged by Taubes in The New York Times Magazine in 2002. In this book, Taubes shows that the hypothesis that dietary fat causes heart disease, which gathered strength in the 1970s and '80s, was based on flimsy science. Taubes thinks that a diet rich in protein and fat and low in carbohydrates is best and that weight gain is not determined only by "calories in minus calories out."
