Now comes the onslaught of opposition telling everyone why Taubes is wrong.

I just stole this post by someone in a group on facebook.

"Just found out that Gary Taubes is wrong.

Oh Lord.

I admire how Taubes freely admits that he cannot scientifically prove his suspicion that sugar is toxic; it is simply a hypothesis. There's a host of information pointing to sugar being the perpetrator of diabetes and obesity, but no one wants to fund the scientific studies to prove or disprove it.

You're welocome! I liked it too. I know Taubes gets a lot of blowback but he is a veteran reporter with a strong background in science and I think his concerns are valid, if maybe a little overstated.

Ooh, looks like a good read. Going to finish it in the a.m. and probably share to my G+ followers. Thanks

No, because they've already decided to blame fat,
