I've been following you since the nineties. I mean, you've kind of, you've come out on top on this debate. But by main stream, so again, my estimate is there' now a few tens of thousands of physicians around the world who will say stop eating carbs. These carb rich foods, bread, tino, grains, starchs, sugar, they're killing you. And if you want to be healthy, you can't eat them.

For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more. So why doesn’t it work for everyone? The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we’ve come to think about obesity and diet. Shermer and Taubes discuss: scientific consensus, nutrition, replication, why Newtonian mechanics doesn’t work with human bodies, the physics model of calories, complicating variables, intermittent fasting, which fruits and vegetables you should consume and avoid, cholesterol, heart disease, statins, and why it is okay to have bacon-and-eggs for breakfast.
