Avid hunter and meat eater here. Getting in to spear fishing next week. I cited to those three studies because they were directly funded by Taubes’ foundation and designed to prove Taubes’ claims and failed to do so.
- pmarreck 4y agoyou did not yet clarify what you believe Taubes’ core claims are as I tried to say, you cannot claim a claim is disproved, without elucidating that exact claim as precisely as possible, first.
- Fezzik 4y agoAgain, from Taubes’ own webpage: “In Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes tries to bury the idea that a low-fat diet promotes weight loss and better health. Obesity is caused, he argues, not by the quantity of calories you eat but by the quality. Carbohydrates, particularly refined ones like white bread and pasta, raise insulin levels, promoting the storage of fat.” The studies he acquired funding for came to conclusions contrary to this very claim.
