[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2459047, member: 532959"] Firstly, I've already suggested to you in other threads that the revisionist-history of Taubes, Teicholz et al is at complete odds with my own experience, or of anyone I've known, over the last 50 years. The information contained within these articles by Bass more closely aligns with my own experience of the world. And I'm not just choosing the information that fits what I want to 'hear' (It would actually be much more convenient to be able to blame the government, carbs, insulin or..."THE MEN" who made us fat, for why I've nearly always been overweight/obese). Does KB have a bias? Of course...we all do. Is his info infallible? doubtful What Im looking for when it comes to what i deem as reliable sources of information, are people who will pursue the science in spite of their biases. And in my pwn pursuit of the truth, it has led me to unsubscribe and unfollow most of the vegans I used to watch/read, and now most of the people i follow on Twitter etc. and from whom I get my information are neither vegan, nor interested in my personal preference for a very high-carb diet. It's also unfortunate that a few of the people I follow, including KB, act like utter clowns and edge-lords out in the social-media world (I've even been banned from one of their Twitter accounts for suggesting that them acting the fool really deters people away from the quality of their information. Such is life) So, no...blogger is not a rude word to me; neither, in fact, is science-journalist. I'll take my information from a pre-schooler if what they are presenting to me is true. When it comes to Taubes, he has a long history of hiding the truth when it would be inconvenient to his message. Furthermore, for years now, he has set out to prove his theories correct, which is in direct opposition to the idea of the scientific method i.e to falsify one's hypotheses. Also, where you put your 'faith' is your business. But instead of dismissing the info out-of-hand, why not present information that counters/debunks it Well, in your parlance KISS favours 'Ate more; moved less' over insulin done made us all fat ;) [/QUOTE]
