I like many of the things he recommends, but I don't like it when certain foods are recommended to be limited based on no clear research or direct root cause. Maybe he'll sell a few more books this way, maybe not, and maybe he truly believes in his recommendations. Don't have any interest in his book. Think his stance has some value to many. Nothing is either black or white. We live in a world of grays or greys.

Pretty much what I stated, see text in bold. I stand by my comments. Glad that Aseem is active and outspoken on an important topic. I certainly don't need a book on what today is popularly called The Mediterranean Diet.
