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.
Jean Carper is not just a Journalist, she's a science writer. Just about everything she writes comes from interviewing leading specialists. Not every specialist has enough material or time to write their own book. So she picks up a lot of good information that might never have been reported otherwise. What she doesn't do: As far as I know, she has never written her own diet book.
