Gary Taubes' ambitious nutrition research project is on life support, and the studies commissioned by NuSI themselves have failed to show any scientific merit to their own theories.

At least maybe Taubes has had a moment of enlightenment and self-realization:
“I say this to my wife all the time: ‘Maybe I’m a quack.’ All quacks are sure they’re right. Isn’t that the defining characteristic of a quack?..."

    For the sole purpose of being provocative, does NuSI = Keto?

    I was going to feel bad for the people he milked 40 million from until the article pointed out that they are just funding other people doing the same research. Clearly the money is coming with an agenda.

    @New_Heavens_Earth I don't know but he was way ahead of his time. I kick myself in the rearend when I read through it because all of things I've tried are on that list.

    Me too. But I can think of a few new names who need to be added on.

    There are some here who could write their own book. Would it sell without a dieting platform, miracle weight loss cure, maybe. People want magic and enjoy imaginary thinking that will help them lose 25 lbs in only 30 days. snack-crazy-rabbit-emoticon.gif?1292793778.
