Taubes raises important facts that aren't widely circulated, which need to be addressed. -- - Billy Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria of the American political landscape. America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/.../michael-moore /michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/ |

I'm thinking of buying his 'Why We Get Fat' book. Thanks for any suggestions. Louie Boston, MA USA |

I'm thinking of buying his 'Why We Get Fat' book. Thanks for any suggestions. Louie Boston, MA USA Taubes doesn't presume to have all the answers, but he raises a number of questions about the conventional wisdom of "low fat/high carb" diets, cholesterol, and and weight gain. Well worth a read for anyone who eats. -- - Billy Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left.

There is the caveat that he is a journalist who has studied the field extensively not a scientist himself. He's a scholar not a scientist, a customer of the scientists who produce the data. As long as you are okay with that caveat then yes he is accepted by most here as a legit authority on the topic. He has spent a lot of time and effort studying the topic and reaching conclusions. His material is very good. I will note that Dr Atkins also described himself as not a scientist who was a customer of the scientists not a scientist himself. Dr Atkins was a clinical physician not a scientist. I do not consider not being a scientist as a disqualification for expertise in the field and I encourage you to think in those terms as well. Folks who are not scientists can and do deliver excellent work on the topic. It takes scientists, clinicians, analysts all working together. Gary Taubes is one of those analysts to me. A valued contributor to the field. |

The job of synthesizing the knowledge of the whole field of nutrition is not frequently taken up by scientists who also have to labor under the need to get their labs funded. Do you suppose that someone with Taubes take on human nutrition is going to get any of his work funded by Kellogg's, ADM or General Foods? -- The Chinese pretend their goods are good and we pretend our money is good, or is it the reverse? |

This would be the advantage of endowing a professorship in your will. It gives independence to a scholar or scientist. It's a dream. Do you suppose that someone with Taubes take on human nutrition is going to get any of his work funded by Kellogg's, ADM or General Foods? Or Quaker Oats or Con Agra or any other grain based food company. There's the Beef Board I guess. |
