All,

I don't know why I haven't found this before. But after reading this article I just had to share it. This is from 12 years ago; and while low-carb diets are gaining some traction; it's still at best tolerated by mainstream Nutrition "experts" and in some corners it's still vilified.

After reading this article. I'm wondering who should be vilified.

Enjoy

    Excellent article, thank you for posting. It's been very difficult for me to reverse the "brain washing" and to realise that saturated fat is ok and even healthy to eat. I'm more committed to this WOL than ever after reading that. :)

    This is THE classic article that really kicked off Taubes current career. It precedes GCBC and Why We Get Fat, In re-reading it you can feel that it was written before he become more evangelical about the whole thing. Of course this was before he had become vilified by the low-fat and vegan brigade. With so many attacks on Taubes over the past decade I can certainly understand why you feel a change in what he writes and speaks about these days.
