Walter Willet is chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health and professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School. In this informative book he explains why the USDA guidelines - the famous food pyramid - are not only wrong but detrimental to one's health. Debunking current dietary myths such as the evils of eggs and how high milk consumption does a body good, Willet presents a compelling nutritional standard, including new research on the healthiest carbs, fats and proteins; why weight control is the single most important factor for longevity; plus menu plans and recipes that make it easy to compliment/improve your diet.
