He's also arguing that, because the science community is not always right, that anyone who challenges them is regarded as eccentric. Not true - providing the challenges are based on strong evidence.

That means more sugar and bingo, 30 years later it's sugar that's the problem.


But it's an interesting argument you make. One question - if someone in your family was told they required heart surgery, would you say it's a bad idea because the medical community have changed their mind about fats and sugars?

Agree. If you're trying to sell a book and the content is basically 'all that stuff you're doing that we've been advising for years...still ok. carry on' then you'll never be rich.
