Title: Slick and bogus!
Review: P.T. Barnum may have anticipated this book with his "sucker born every minute" remark. Indeed, henrik@husc7.harvard.edu, 08/06/96, [rating=1:Nutritional Misinformation and Pseudo-Science] anticipated my review. Alas, Amazon only has 1 as its lowest rating. One anecdote from the Zone book is characteristic. Supporting "evidence" is gleaned from some no-nonsense coach who "supervises" a SMALL group (less than 10) doing a Zone "experiment." There is NO control group! Compliance with the Zone protocol is based on this coach not taking any nonsense from his subjects. He takes what they report at face value; and that's the "scientific" data. Outrageous does not begin to describe this book. If only I still worked for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to find out how much damage this book has done. The best can be hoped for is that people will ONLY waste their money on it.
