That book is pseudoscience. As are a lot of the books and videos promoting high fat diets. We don’t need to be afraid of fat, but replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats has been shown to lead to better heart health outcomes by gold standard studies and meta reviews.

I appreciate that you have an alternate opinion. I've gone through quite a few studies myself as well as other doctors say the contrary.

Rather than just "saying you're wrong, I'm wrong", can you the gold-standard studies you're claiming?

Also not sure what about the book is "pseudoscience", can you name specific aspects in that make it pseudoscience? (it actually doesn't recommend anything... so curious how it's pseudoscience)
