"Her dismantling of Taubes was spot on. It just took a little longer for the bro-scientists to catch up."
Kocur has rubbished Taubes for a long time, remember Taubes is slim Kocur is morbidly obese. I will swim to the US or die in the attempt when I have proof the bloated blogger can get anywhere near the weight and shape of my lowcarbing wife or my dietitian friend Franziska.
This is a summation at the end of his stellar book. Seems pretty cool to me and follows pretty closely to my and many others experience and the real science.
1. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease.
2. The problem is refined carbs in diet, their effect on insulin secretion & the hormonal regulation of homeostasis.
3. Sugars - sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup specifically - are particularly harmful, the combination of fructose & glucose simultaneously elevates insulin levels & overload liver with carbs.
4. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbs, starches, sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & diabetes. They are likely dietary causes of cancer, Alzheimer's & other diseases.
5. Obesity is a disorder of excess fat accumulation, not overeating.
6. Consuming excess calories does not cause us to grow fatter.
7. Fattening & obesity are caused by an imbalance in the hormonal regulation of adipose tissue & fat metabolism. Fat synthesis & storage exceed the mobilization of fat from adipose tissue & its subsequent oxidation.
8. Insulin is the primary regulator of fat storage. When insulin levels fall, we release fat from fat tissue.
9. By stimulating insulin secretion, carbs make us fat.
10. By driving fat accumulation, carbs also increase hunger & decrease the amount of energy we expend in metabolism & physical activity.

The bloated bloggers best pic I suspect.
“Stop the crazy restrictions” she tells us and you too can stay obese.
Let's get one thing straight, how a person looks, says nothing about their qualities or personality, or a lot of other things. But, if you go around rubbishing others re their weight or appearance, as she has done, and rubbishing others beliefs and experience, get your own house in order first.
