Substack 11: Life Lessons from the Dearly Departed?

https://garytaubes.com/substack-11-life-lessons-from-the-dearly-departed/

Published: June 4, 2024 17:49

I’ve wanted to write for years about the seemingly unseemly tendency in the nutrition world to speculate about the dietary lessons we can learn when a prominent promoter of a particular dietary philosophy passes away. It’s not inappropriate to ask these…

Substack 10: Magic Pill and the Satiety Problem Problem

https://garytaubes.com/substack-10-magic-pill-and-the-satiety-problem-problem/

Published: May 23, 2024 23:44

My latest post on Unsettled Science: Johann Hari’s new book, Magic Pill, does a good job on the benefits and risks of taking a drug like Ozempic. It goes off the rails when he gets around to discussing the science of obesity. Consider this the Satiety…

Substack 9: The science activist problem. What nutrition and climate science have in common.

https://garytaubes.com/substack-9-the-science-activist-problem-what-nutrition-and-climate-science-have-in-common/

Published: May 14, 2024 19:01

In the years after I published Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), I would frequently get emails from readers saying, in effect, “now that you’ve taken on nutrition science, would you look into climate change?” I never did and, I would reply, I almost…

Substack 8: How do you stop bad scientists? Hope they committed fraud.

https://garytaubes.com/substack-8-how-do-you-stop-bad-scientists-hope-they-committed-fraud/

Published: April 24, 2024 18:25

This is a post I’ve wanted to write for years. We read about scientific misconduct regularly. Fraud is news. Institutions investigate it. The media covers it. But garden-variety bad science is the far more insidious problem. There is no institutional…

Substack 7: Nutrition has a Metaverse Problem

https://garytaubes.com/substack-7-nutrition-has-a-metaverse-problem/

Published: April 10, 2024 19:07

When nutritional epidemiologists conclude (as they always do) that some item of our diet or lifestyle associates with chronic disease, it’s inevitably news. Not so when methodologists point out potential, if not very disturbing problems with the…

SUBSTACK 6: DO WE CARE WHY MICE GET FAT?

https://garytaubes.com/substack-6-do-we-care-why-mice-get-fat/

Published: March 6, 2024 00:12

by GT When Nina Teicholz and I were discussing working together on a Substack newsletter, I suggested a name for it that I’d always joked I’d someday use: “Let’s Pretend This Is Science….” Let’s just say, wiser heads prevailed. Still, that’s the phrase…

Substack 5: Less Meat, More Plants: A rules of evidence controversy (part 1)

https://garytaubes.com/substack-5-less-meat-more-plants-a-rule-of-evidence-controversy-part-1/

Published: February 20, 2024 23:23

That a plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat is the nutritional equivalent of common sense. We’ve been told it’s the one thing on which nutritionists can always agree. Journalists treat it as dogma. But where’s the evidence? When a group of…

Substack 4: Nutrition Researchers Say It’s the Doctors Who Are Fooling Themselves – Are They?

https://garytaubes.com/substack-4-nutrition-researchers-say-its-the-doctors-who-are-fooling-themselves-are-they/

Published: January 22, 2024 00:36

The very controversial history surrounding dietary therapy for obesity and diabetes comes down to one consistent and very obvious conflict. Physicians, like the UK’s David Unwin in his recent article, insist that they know better how to successfully treat…

Rethinking Diabetes.

https://garytaubes.com/rethinking-diabetes/

Published: January 2, 2024 23:38

A new book and a Q&A on Substack The numbers are hard to ignore. One in every four dollars spent on healthcare in the United States goes to treating diabetes and its complications. The cost to society is estimated at over $400 billion a year, more than $1…
