Other than credential-spotting ( looking up how many esteemed institutions a person is associated with ) how does one decide whose book to even peruse and whose to dismiss.
Its really mind numbing that we have so much confusion in such an important space as nutrition.
Just look at the credentials of the expert that Ms.Teicholz [1] blames for this mess:
Alice H. Lichtenstein is a senior scientist and director

as well as a Stanley N. Gershoff Professor of Nutrition
Science and Policy at the Friedman School.
Lichtenstein also serves as the executive editor of the
Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter.
