Re: What if sugar is worse than just empty calories? An essay by Gary Taubes
Although excessive sugar is considered unhealthy, this article does not make the case that sugar is the only major etiological dietary factor for type 2 diabetes or ischemic heart disease. Neither is the case made that saturated fat and a high fat intake do not play a major role in these diseases. Perhaps a more scientific article would be better received or at least we could hear the arguments from the other side of the debate. This article is very one sided and lacks any convincing evidence.
