"A wonderful explanation of the wide world of fats that is a must-read for discerning (and healthy) eaters."--Mehmet C. Oz, author of "You: An Owner's Manual" "Susan Allport's account of the discovery of omega-3 fatty acids combines colorful science, intriguing personalities, and a well-digested biochemistry into a convincing recipe for a healthier diet. "The Queen of Fats" is a fascinating new detective story--with a solution that matters!"--Richard Wrangham, author of "Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence" ""The Queens of Fats" is a fascinating nutritional detective story delivering a big surprise: how one of the most important changes to the diet wrought by industrialization of food went unnoticed. But if Allport is right, the disappearance of omega-3s from the Western diet is the key to understanding why that diet is making us so sick."--Michael Pollan, author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" "Allport provides a fascinating 'whodunit' about the discovery of how fats work, what wonders omega-3s could perform in thwarting chronic disease, and a timely warning to the world about the imbalance of essential fats in the food supply. I reveled in the twists and turns of nutrition history as it unfolds and uncovers the ways food processing carries hefty health risks, as well as benefits."--Sharron Dalton, author of "Our Overweight Children: What Parents, Schools, and Communities Can Do to Control the Fatness Epidemic"
