There's been a lot of controversy over The China Study as of late. Much to the dismay of the vegetarian and vegan community, many studies have discredited the Campbell's findings. Exclusion of outlying data....to strengthen a hypothesis....who would do such a thing? Ancel Keys ring a bell? (Thanks for making dietary fat so taboo). Anyways, a small county inside China who threw a wrench in the gears of Campbell's "comprehensive" study.
A man of particular mention in fat-fact-finding would be Uffe Ravnskov, check him out as well as interesting research over at Hyperlipid
On the barefoot front, one I'm extremely interested in right now, some exciting new shoes have been released. Meet the SoftStar Runamoc, a minimalist running moccasin made by a company whose prime retail is baby footwear.
After reluctance to believe their worth--currently $87 USD + shipping, I decided to do research on the quality. Donald over at Running and Rambling did a comprehensive testing process for SoftStar, being able to beat to shit every prototype of their new running moccasin that they could throw his way, critiquing all along the way leading up to his ultimate belief that they have created a winner. I'll be ordering a pair soon, unless SoftStar wants a loyal campus representative at the University of Tennessee.
