I and my other half have read this interest and am still in the dark about a few things, such as, Inuit having low deaths from heart disease but high incidences of cancers such as bowel. Are we substituting one type of disease for another? Can we extrapolate American woes to other countries, I.e. trans fats, I believe were banned in some places in Europe a long time ago, whereas they weren't in the US.
People eating a Mediterranean diet don't have the same issues and eat a lot of carbs in terms of pasta and bread. Are we talking about certain types of carb here, I.e. refined sugars?
It is a very good argument but for us, still raises a lot of questions, I want to be convinced but have no one to ask these questions of.

BTW, have just looked at his website, an interesting mix of conspiracy theories, and interesting takes on vaccination, global warming etc. mmmmmmm. Enjoyed his article on how good Sarah Palin is especially and reading that Obamacare is 'medical fascism'. He may have some valid articles on saturated fat, but I struggle to take him too seriously having read some of the outrageous articles on his website. How I would love to be convinced by a credible scientist rather than by someone to subscribes to every strange and crackpot conspiracy theory going. Sorry to anyone who admires him but his credibility is damaged by this for me.
