"Its major contribution may well be to swing the pendulum back a little, widening the recognition that in order to be healthy, one does not need to be anorexic or nearly so." Nature, 'The Fats of Life' is a most entertaining read - so much so that, once started, I found it hard to put down.' Per Bjrntorp, Obesity Matters, 'The Fats of Life' is a most entertaining read - so much so that, once started, I found it hard to put down.' Per Bj rntorp, Obesity Matters, 'The Fats of Life' is a most entertaining read - so much so that, once started, I found it hard to put down.'Professor Per Björntorp, Obesity Matters, 'The Fats of Life' is a most entertaining read - so much so that, once started, I found it hard to put down.' Per Björntorp, Obesity Matters, ‘The Fats of Life’ is a most entertaining read - so much so that, once started, I found it hard to put down.’Professor Per Björntorp, Obesity Matters, "The author, well known in the field of comparative fat physiology, expertly combines accounts of chemistry of fats, general natural history, and pertinent comparative physiology of mammals, together with the relevance of all this to human life history and social and medical issues. Any and all topics from fat distribution in mammalian bodies to the nature of different kinds of fats found in plant foods of all sorts are woven into a well-written and carefully constructed narrative. ...clearly an outstanding contribution to the educated layperson's library: it informs and entertains in a holistic and delightful manner."
