一部对健康与饮食流行谬误的精彩反驳之作，同时也对减肥行业的商业帝国进行了犀利的审视。半个世纪以来，主流营养学一直将膳食脂肪妖魔化，然而数亿美元的研究却未能证实低脂饮食能助人长寿。面对这样一种悖论——肥胖已成为一种流行病，糖尿病发病率急剧飙升，而尽管当今社会对饮食和健康更加重视，心脏病的发病率却并未下降——营养学和肥胖症科学家们百思不得其解

……那些“公共卫生专家”不管怎么看，都不过是一群失去理智、只认死理的狂热分子，完全不顾证据只想硬推自己的偏门理论，他们真该去把 Gary Taubes 的《饮食迷局》（The Diet Delusion）找来读读。在我看来，这本书对这些“建议”背后的运作过程和各色人等进行了权威而痛快的抨击，绝对会让你大开眼界。
…"public health experts", who by all appearances are little more than irrational single-interest zealots intent on pushing through their pet theory regardless of evidence, should seek out and read The Diet Delusion by Gary Taubes. It is an (IMO) authoritative excoriation of the kinds of processes and personalities behind these "recommendations" and will really open your eyes.
这种说法我听过很多次，我也听说过有数据可以反驳它。我没去查具体的参考文献，但我读过的几本营养学书籍里都提到过这点，包括：Gary Taubes 的《饮食迷局》（The Diet Delusion）、Michael Pollan 的《食物的辩护》（In Defense of Food），以及 Paul Jaminet 的《完美健康饮食》（The Perfect Health Diet）。他们的观察总是一致的：癌症是“西方病”之一，最早出现在……

The observation is always the same: Cancer is one of the "western diseases" that starts appearing in…
没有，但如果你在 Hacker News 上问这个问题，你会得到一个混乱且听起来有点偏执的 Gary Taubes 关于此话题的书籍梗概：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diet_Delusion。可能最好还是直接去看原著。我希望它能比那种“生物学太难了，营养学太复杂了，所以跨界科普记者提出的理论……”稍微多一点细微的深度。
No, but if you ask this question on Hacker News you will get a muddled and slightly paranoid sounding synopsis of Gary Taubes' book on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diet_Delusion Probably best to go straight to the source. I'm hoping it's a bit more naunced than the "biology is hard, nutrition is complex, therefore theories proposed by science journalists from outwith the field…
