I am a physician/ophthalmologist, turned full-time nutrition researcher, as of nearly five years ago. Most of the last 8 years of my life has been spent trying to ferret out the truth as to what makes us healthy versus what causes chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, strokes, hypertension, obesity, and age-related macular degeneration. The bottom line? Researchers like Denise Minger are as rare as they come. I tell ya, this young lady is not only astonishingly brilliant, but her conclusions are spot on. She challenges conventional dogma with unparalleled style and wit, making striking conclusions about so-called "research," like the China Study, that pushes a hidden agenda.
Now the best part: there are no author's on the planet who write in a more entertaining style, than Denise Minger, in my opinion. None. I could read anything she writes all day. My only critique of her book, "Death by Food Pyramid," is that Denise was apparently forced by her publisher to use an editor. I know this, only from reading both her blog (RawFoodSOS.com) and the book. No one had to tell me. I thought to myself, "Why in the world would anyone, ever, ever, ever try to editorialize what Denise Minger has written?" That, to me, is absurd. So, unfortunately, the book doesn't have the entertainment value that it would have otherwise had it been left in Denise's original words, but the content is otherwise the same and the conclusions are the same.
I cannot give a higher recommendation for this book. And I cannot give a higher recommendation for any author, than Denise Minger. She proves, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that you don't need an MD, PhD, or even necessarily a science background to come to the correct conclusions about nutrition. You just need an open mind, sheer determination, the time, and enough scientific intellect to understand scientific papers. No one has any greater degree of such qualities than Denise Minger.
