You like to read comments under Youtube videos. I like to read one star reviews at Amazon. I could not find any for the book you link to, but there are a few for this one. To read them, one may have to log into his/her Amazon account.
When I clicked on the first reviewer's username, he has this to say:
D.M.
"I'm retired, have a four year degree in biology and mostly worked as a computer programmer. People are different. A low carb, high animal fat diet will actually lower LDL in some people. But a systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 long term low carbohydrate diet studies showed an increased risk of 31% for all-cause mortality. (1) The Atkins diet and the Ornish diet both lower fasting insulin and can be used to treat diabetics. But during weight maintenance the Atkins diet raises LDL particle number and CRP in the average person while the Ornish diet lowers them. For the majority of coronary artery disease patients, Dr. Ornish's diet is probably the best. It contains about 10% fat and is high in fiber from whole foods and low in sugar. For the majority of people without heart disease the Greek Mediterranean diet of the 1960s is probably the best. For the majority of people with metabolic syndrome a reduced carbohydrate diet with mostly plant fat and protein is probably best. 1. PLoS One. 2013;8(1):e55030. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0055030.
