This is a great review of our dietary dilemna. Thanks for posting it!
For those who are interested in this topic, Richard Feinman PhD has his new book out "The World Turned Upside Down" and in it he provides a review of how we got here from there, weaving biochemistry and statistical review through the story of science vs policy in a very readable and entertaining way.
I agree, lgerber. You can read my review of Dr. Feinman's book here: http://carbwars.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-world-turned-upside-down.html
Policy is born out of politics, and science is born out of facts. Sometimes, loud and overbearing personalities (like Ancel Keys) twist facts into politics.
Anonymous, true, and the same tactics are used by those who have vested interests, such as the big pharmaceutical companies. They often design a study so it is likely to give them the desired result and then spin the results to get the headline they want. If they are paying for it, they can call the shots.
