Negative Positive
Title: Lacking in the whole picture
Review: I agree the glycemic index is a useful tool, but the attiudethat low fat diets are best remain in this book which I do not whollyagree with. [The book discusses] the media driven view that all dietary fats are harmful to health. This is not true. Some are (excess saturated fats, trans/hydrogenated fats.) but the health benefits of the good fats/essential fatty acids are not mentioned. I suggest picking up Udo Eramus' book "Fat's that Heal, Fat's that kill" and put the two books together to complete the picture between carbs. and fats. Eskimo's get 50-60% of their calories from fats (rich in omega 3/6) oils and don't get heart disease. The view [of this book] is still too skewed for me to justify this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
