    Author of that article is fatally flawed as well, although not as bad as others I have seen. When someone cites Gary Taubes as one of their favorite nutrition books, I see more red flags than a May Day parade in Moscow.

    Not dismissing it out of hand—just urging extreme caution and some skepticism.

    I also think we did a pretty good job in the original thread refuting that study without resorting to bringing in woo from the opposite side.

    This was my thought too.

    Why is this a new thread? Wasn't this reference posted in the original? It seems like this will just lead to duplicate posts on the same subject, kind of a waste of time.
