This is about a book and the reviews
are very explicit. I do not disagree. Over the last few years, I
have been learning about low carbohydrate food plans, Paleo food
plans, and a few other food plans promoted away from the media.
Our news media today just doesn't report anything that they can't
sensationalize, or to cause (events, especially in newspaper reports)
to seem more vivid, shocking, etc, than they really are. They will
parrot (to repeat or imitate without thought or understanding) from a
press release and overstate this in the headline. They like sexy
headlines and seem to care less about the truth of what they report.
Now some of our medical news sources
are doing the same and this is becoming disgusting. I will admit
that there have not been many interesting facts to report about
diabetes in the last month or even health news.
Therefore, it is with some reluctance
that am blogging about a book that I have ordered before reading it.
The title of the book is Eat the Yolks by Liz Wolfe and
is available only from Amazon. Yes, there is a Kindle edition.
Stone Hearth News just parroted the
review from Amazon, which shows how lazy their reporters are. They
do this for every article they publish, but often I can find other
sources, which confirm what they parrot. I seldom use them for a
source because of this. If I am interested in something they report,
I wait until I find the information in other sources that are not
parroting the same press release. Or, I email the corresponding
author for a digital copy of the study. If I can't locate one and
nothing further is released, the delete key does the rest.
I liked the review, which is why I
ordered the book.
I will do a proper review after I have
read the book.
