Dr Bray makes several significant errors of fact that will certainly mislead readers as to the book's actual content and arguments. Bray asserts, for instance, that GCBC includes 'a number of errors of omission or commission that are important when relating diet to disease'. The first, he says, is that I make 'no mention' of lowor high-density lipoproteins in the diet-heart discussion of the book. These are indeed discussed at great length in that context, and Bray's assertion could have been easily checked by looking in the index (HDL, 139, 154, 161–3, 165, 166–8, 169, 172–3, 182, 184, 185, 187, 196, 223. LDL, 141, 154–6, 160–1, 163, 165–8, 170–6, 184, 187, 193, 196, 200–1, 205n).
