 Why Low Fat, Low Cholesterol Diets are Bad for Your Health, 2008-06-16
Using his extensive knowledge of biochemistry and cellular physiology, Dr. Carlson explains why high carb/low fat diets are detrimental to our health. He believes that promotion of this type of diet is causing genocide around the world. Prior to reading "Genocide" I really had my doubts about how this could be possible. Carb and lowfat foods are most commonly touted as being beneficial to our health. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of the biochemical processes involved in digestion and how eating high carb foods contributes to producing harmful cholesterol.
After observing the positive results on thousands of his patients following a nine year period, Dr. Carlson noticed that they experienced greater health benefits following the lower carb, higher fat, higher protein diet. Blood panel studies proved this. He also personally benefited from making changes in his own diet.
"Genocide" is written for persons with medical backgrounds and lay people who are looking to improve their own health. Dr. Carlson presents the information with scientific jargon and then he breaks it down into layman's terms. In doing this, he will be able to convince doctors why this diet works by reminding them of what they learned about science in college, not what they have been encouraged to promote without scientific evidence.
This is not a diet book. It is a book that scientifically explains why following a nutritional program like this would be beneficial to one's health, as opposed to a high carb/lowfat diet. He recommends that you consult a doctor that understands why low carb diets work to assist you with making changes. He also offers a list of recommended readings. If you are suffering from obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and gastric reflux problems, you really should investigate these claims. Personally, I experience PCOS, IBS, fibromyalgia and eczema. Dr. Calson discusses how this diet can benefit all of the issues that I have listed except fibromyalgia. He does discuss how this diet can improve symptoms of auto-immune diseases and foods that promote inflammation. I suspect that fibromyalgia probably falls into this area. I definitely plan on making some changes in my diet. I look forward to seeing an improvement in my health and a reduction in my weight.

It makes sense that when you understand how something works,you'll get better results! Reading this book is like having your own private appointment with Dr. Carlson. If you have every wondered why its almost impossible to lose weight even when you are doing the "right things" then this book is a must read for you. Warning: Be prepared to lose weight. I wish this book was written years ago.Buy this book for someone you love:Yourself.

Genocide! How Your Doctor's Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!!!, 2008-05-28
Very informative. My sister's doc wrote it and she told me about it. I've been trying to lower my cholesterol without meds and Dr. Carlson's book about the effects of carbohydrates on insulin and how it can raise your cholesterol was helpful in explaining the biochemical pathways and the physical effects on my body. It also explains about many others biochemical reactions in the body. It inspired me to research more books about diet and carbohydrates. I've already adjusted my diet and had success in reducing my carb intake, consuming healthier carbs, lost weight and feel much better but won't know cholesterol results until my next blood test or two. I'm looking for a lifetime diet plan and Dr. Carlson's book gave me the jump start I needed.

Very well written book debunking the merits of low fat diets. Dr. Carlson has very impressive credentials and writes the book in simple layman's terms which speaks directly to you. Interesting, informative and a "must read" for those struggling to lose weight and obtaining information on how to lower cholesterol levels. Highly recommend.
