Ancel Benjamin Keys may be responsible for more premature death and suffering of Americans than anyone in history.
As someone said on Twitter:
@DrEades Saturated fat was the CO2 of the 70s-80s.

Here’s probably the ultimate review, from Michael Eades:
I want to write a review so good it inspires everyone to buy the book immediately and read it. Why? Because I think it is one of the most important books on nutrition ever written. Maybe the most important. And I feel a responsibility to inspire as many people as I can to get their hands on it.
…this book is so brimming with valuable information that I was almost paralyzed in trying to figure out which parts to excerpt. A book review always comes with excerpts, and this book presented me with such a bounty of choices, it took me forever to decide which to use.
Considering the source, that’s pretty high praise.
I’m willing to throw you a bone, Rand. Put an Amazon link to the book on your site and I’ll buy it this week.
“Ancel Benjamin Keys may be responsible for more premature death and suffering of Americans than anyone in history.”
Yeah, but Rachel Carson’s still got him beat on the international front.
I’ll second that.
Someone should do a chart ranking memes by their death toll. I imagine Marxism would outpace the DDT scare and the dietary fat scare combined.
