Fat As a Singular Factor- The Beast

at 3:30 PM

Fat... it's such a dirty three letter word. For years advocates of the low-fat diet have been telling us that we need to cut down on the fat in our diet and that will solve all our dietary problems. I still remember when people would say...spaghetti, it's fat-free, and they would have a huge plate with bread (of course that was fat-free too). Oh wait, people still say that!

If you haven't read Gary Taubes book, 'Good Calories, Bad Calories', it is time. If he didn't rock your nutritional universe back in 2002 with his article called, 'What If It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?' (published on July 7, 2002 in the New York Times Magazine), it's time. It is time for you to read that article. Read it with an open mind. Then you will be (may be) ready for his book which was published around the same time.

This is his very controversial article published in the New York Times Magazine
