photo 13 Apr 1 note Ah, reading this article reminds me that I still haven’t gotten around to reading Gary Taubes’ most recent book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It—so it’s now officially on the reading queue. My take on the article: I believe the evidence is more than convincing that sugar consumption plays a huge role in not only diabetes but also heart disease, dyslipidemia (aka high cholesterol) and cancers.  Given our entrenched views, it will take some time for the medical community to come around to the message and public health will, as always, try to catch up after that. So…there’s fat abuse, sugar abuse, meat abuse, calorie abuse and most of all, over abuse.  Problem numero uno: We eat too much.  Number two: We eat too much of the wrong things.
