From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets
Gary Taubes is one of those people that I think in retrospect will be recognized as making a big contribution to the health of people in the U.S. His 2002 article in the New York Times magazine, "What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?" helped started what was later characterized as a "low-carb craze" at the time. He has followed up with two wonderful books on the subject. Right now he is being maligned by Dr. Oz and many others, but his day will come! Have a wonderful, healthy week - Laura
