Dietary fat does not cause obesity or heart disease; refined carbohydrates -- particularly sugar and starches -- are the real villains in our diet as well as the probable cause of diabetes, coronary artery disease and maybe cancer; insulin plays the key role in fattening. And his most heretical claim of all: Obesity is not simply a consequence of overeating and a sedentary lifestyle

I agree w/the person above who said he is making an excuse for obesity....
I picked it up and quickly flipped through it at Barnes & Noble before I read the publicity about it and was shocked.... mainly w/things already stated. ie- he thinks that excercise isn't healthy b/c it adds to your hunger???
