Savvy Vegetarian Book Review: 'Carbophobia, The Scary Truth About America's Low-Carb Craze'Dr. Michael Greger Is On An Anti-Low Carb Mission'Carbophobia' is an expose of the wide spread low-carb diet craze led by Dr. Atkins. AuthorMichael Greger is a crusader who writes and speaks expertly and eloquently about plant-based nutrition. In this book, his mission is to bring down the Atkins Diet Empire. In his introduction to 'Carbophobia', Michael Greger says, "A 2003 review of low carb 'theories' in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition concluded that 'Carbophobia is a form of nutritional misinformation infused into the American psyche through ... advertising ... infomercials ... and best-selling diet books.' By countering this misinformation with scientific fact, I hope to give the public the tools with which to make up their own minds." The Atkins Corporation wrote a letter to Michael Greger threatening to sue him for defamation. His response was to publish the letter and his rebuttal on Atkins Exposed. As he says, 'Thankfully, under law, the truth is considered an absolute defense against defamation.' Carbophobia made complete sense to me. In fact, it was preaching to the choir. What I'd like to see now is something to counter the low-carb myths, a book about why and how people should eat carbohydrates for good health and weight loss. Although most nutritionists agree that carbs are a Good Thing, and carb info is out there in bits and pieces, it should be all together in one widely distributed book or article. How about it, Dr. Greger?
