I would love to see more debate with regard to…cholesterol/saturated fat proponents (Gary Taubes, for example). I don’t know how many times people have recommended I read Taubes books….Just look at the reviews on Amazon for Johnny Bowden’s The Great Cholesterol Myth!

I wrote about the cholesterol “skeptics” in my book Carbophobia (now available free, full text online).
I think the issue was best summarized in a medical journal editorial entitled Cholesterol Myth Club on Par with Flat Earth Society that read: “as mixed up as Flat Earth Society members obviously are, at least you can laugh their dumb idea off, and if you want to believe the Earth is flat, this view is not going to cause serious problems like… coronary artery disease.”
