==Diet and Die==

In 1935, Malmberg authored ''Diet and Die'', a book critical of [[fad diet]]s. The book criticized dietary fads, pseudo-scientific nutrition claims and [[Quackery|quack]] remedies. Malmberg critically examined the ideas of [[fasting]], [[naturopathy]], [[vegetarianism]], [[low-protein diet]]s, [[Gayelord Hauser]]'s Eliminative Feeding System, [[Hay diet]], [[Arnold Ehret|mucusless diet]] and many others.

A review in the ''[[Journal of the American Medical Association]]'' concluded that "the book may well be recommended by all physicians to patients who are interested in being disillusioned relative to the fallacies that recur again and again in the field of nutrition."<ref>Anonymous. (1936). [http://bit.ly/2vcJNxB ''Diet and Die'']. ''[[Journal of the American Medical Association]]''. 106 (22): 1945.</ref> The ''[[American Journal of Clinical Pathology]]'', commented that "this excellent expose of fads and fadists who have plied their trade on the unsuspecting public is well worth reading. Physicians can do a real service for their patients by seeing that they procure a copy of it."<ref>Anonymous. (1936). [http://bit.ly/2PviXdv ''Diet and Die. By Carl Malmberg'']. ''[[American Journal of Clinical Pathology]]'' 6 (1): 96.</ref>

A review in ''The Philippine Journal of Science'' described the book as a "startling revelation of the different diet fads and medicinal frauds that are now found in the market... In this book one will find many popular diets in vogue in America, criticized severely and their inconsistencies and dangers clearly presented."<ref>I. C. (1937). [http://bit.ly/2vcwk90 ''Diet and Die. By Carl Malmberg'']. ''The Philippine Journal of Science'' 62 (1): 565.</ref>
