Why Nutrition is so Confusing

Post by JFR »

An article by Gary Taubes ostensibly about obesity and type 2 diabetes but really about the limitations and problems with nutritional research. Well worth reading.

It might make you pause the next time some dramatic headline declares things like "eating meat is as dangerous as smoking cigarettes".
