I bet if you said something that agreed with him he wouldn't ask for
literature to support that ;) Have you shown him the recent research
showing that low-fat diets don't reduce heart disease or cancer in
women? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4690230.stm And does he
know about The Cholesterol Myths (Uffe Ravnskov) - one of the best
polemics I've ever read, and extremely balanced.

People generally don't do anything to reduce their risk of illness -
they only do something to get rid of illnesses they already have.
Human nature I think. You might be interested in Not All in the Mind
by Richard Mackarness: he explains how eating a food your body can't
detoxify wears you down until suddenly illnesses appear. They way he
describes it and the examples he gives are priceless.

I suspect you might have to wait until something goes wrong/gets fat/
falls off. It's not worth starting rows about. Of course if he gets
ill and *still* does nothing then you've got a right to be frustrated :)
