I became aware of this when I read Gary Taube’s book “Why We Get Fat: And What to do about it”. This was the condensed version of his prior book “Good Calories, Bad Calories” which had a great deal of science in it which I also read.
The books are also an interesting survey of the history of diets and their health impacts. There’s also a bad guy in all this, Ancel Keys, the Fauci of nutritional science and the FDA. Key’s recommendations on diet were forced on the FDA to embrace the high-carbohydrate diet through the usual dishonest means these sociopath bureaucrats always resort to.
Ancel Keys was the original Fauci.
