This book is helpful and I am really enjoyed with with it. The quality of the science in this book is spotty at best. For example, the information concerning Omega 3 Fatty Acids is timely and important. The description of the types of fat in our bodies is also quite accurate and informative, but insufficient. Critical information about the metabolism and utilization of fat in the body is missing. It might be helpful to know that 60% of our brains consist of fat, or that all of the body fat we store is saturated fat. It would seem to be important that most of our energy comes from fat, since carbohydrates cannot be stored by the body. There is no discussion of how the body metabolizes ingested fat or how that fat is stored.
