Facts are facts.

Dr Hyman's books are included in the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine list of "Five Diet Books That Are Worse Than Coal in Your Stocking".

Doctor John McDougall says: ( https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2014nl/apr/clintons.htm )

Mark Hyman, MD is another low-carb diet promoter in line with the authors of the Atkins Diet, Wheat Belly and Grain Brain. Dr. Hyman states, according to the New York Times, that, "It's hard being a vegan to eat enough good, quality protein and not have too much starch." He believes that saturated fat (meat, dairy, and eggs) is good for people, and he uses the one commonly cited, dairy industry-funded study to support his viewpoint. (See my March 2014newsletter on "Dr. Lard." ) Mark Hyman, MD is without traditional medical credibility and is a "supplement hawker."
