There’s a debate raging in the scientific arena currently about Carb-Hypothesis vs Fat-Hypothesis. What is the cause of heart disease and obesity – is it eating fats; or is it eating refined carbs like sugar, white bread and white rice.
These are links for talks and articles by Gary Taubes who advocates the Carb-hypothesis:
- 2007/2008 Good Calories Bad Calories book
- Metabolic Syndrome X, in wikipedia
- Taubes 2001 article, the soft science of diet.
- Taube’s original 2002 very-controversial article in The New York Times, Big FAT Lie
- Interview with Taubes following his 2002 article, the Inside Story
- An article about the “lack” of science on losing weight by working out “We Cannot Work it Out”
- A lecture at UC Berkeley in 2007 following publication of his book “Quality of Calories” (webcast)
- A lecture at Stevens Institute of Technology in 2008, Big Fat Lies (webcast)
