Good Calories, Bad Calories : Fats, Carbs, and the controversial Science of Diet and Health

Challenging accepted ideas about weight control, fat, calories, diet, and exercise, the author of Bad Science argues that refined carbohydrates are the ultimate cause of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer; that overeating and sedentary behavior are side effects of increased insulin; and that removing these carbohydrates from one’s diet is the only way to lose weight.
