I strongly encourage you to read this book. It makes a compelling case that the principal cause of chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease, obesity, some cancers) in the US is refined carbs, full stop, while illustrating many of the current problems with the American health-nanny establishment. (Here's one spoiler: the American Heart Association sucks.)
