David Gillespie is an Australian lawyer, anti-sugar activist and low-carbohydrate diet author who has written several books about health and nutrition. Gillespie admits to no qualifications in nutrition or medicine.[1][2] Gillespie's advocacy for a diet high in saturated fat and his erroneous claim that polyunsaturated fat from vegetable oil is toxic have been criticized by medical experts as dangerous, misleading and wrong.[2][3][4]
