Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet

The Big Fat Surprise

I didn't rate the book vary highly, not because I disagree with the information it was just rather longer than it needed to be. It really makes you think how most health advice is from the loudest person in the room, instead of the best information. We're so influenced by the financial interested as well. That said I would probably have been better just reading the Great Cholesterol Myth, which discusses a lot of this at length as well.

The ideas in this book, which she highly backs with research (in fact the whole point is that people haven't been using real research all this time), seem to be on the rise from many sources. A little tough to read if you're not interested in a bunch of descriptions of trials/studies and historical practices. However, it lays out why we believe what we do about diet and why it's mostly wrong.
