The biggest thing reading 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' did for me, was make me question every single scientific study in much greater detail. It's shocking how much niche* scientific research makes it's way into the 'news', 'common knowledge' or even public policy.
I don't mean this as a knock against this specific study -- however, we don't have enough information to conclude anything about it.
* = where 'niche' implies a strict and specific set of conditions or even assumptions, reducing 'general applicability'
- WilliamLP 16y agoThe big part of this article that raises my skepticism is that it's talking about rat studies without mentioning that there are very many well known, dramatic, and fundamental differences between rat and human metabolisms.
