Thanks for the recommendation. I really enjoyed "Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health" by Gary Taubes on this subject as well. Great historical overview of nutritional science and not afraid of getting into a lot of details. Taubes, with others, went on to start the Nutrition Science Initiative (http://nusi.org http://nusi.org) with the aim of pursuing more conclusive evidence in understanding human nutrition.
