Read the Taubes. It will really p*ss you off, if you care about science and its role in public health policy - and seriously, can we afford not to care? It's not easy reading in any sense of the word, but Taubes has done an excellent job of illustrating the ways in which personality and politics can color the way data is accepted and evaluated. His research is exhaustive and regardless of your dietary religion, he makes a very clear case for why it's important that we look at the data in studies and not rely on the bits we are presented in news stories about the latest in dietary science.
