There is a lot of controversy on the subject of high fat diets; it's always interesting to hear different viewpoints.
I'm surprised that you would consider Jean Carper to be a reliable source; I believe she is not a doctor, but a journalist who has written 24 books?
Could you please provide a link to the AMA claim that you mentioned? Thanks.
