Link: Guyenet On Taubes

A linkpost recommending Stephan Guyenet's review of Gary Taubes's The Case Against Sugar, with extended quotes: the Hadza/Mbuti honey-heavy-diet counterexample to Taubes's sugar-causes-everything thesis, metabolic-ward studies showing calories (not insulin) drive body fat, and Taubes's one-sided Keys-vs-Yudkin history that ignores Yudkin's own industry conflicts. Adds Scott's own honest retraction of his past praise for Taubes ('his views about sugar are really, really wrong... I apologize if my past praise helped create a climate where people listen to his theories'). Mostly curation, but the self-correction adds value.

Quality 56 · Solid. Solid (56): a useful curation with a creditable public self-correction, but fundamentally a link-plus-quotes post rather than original analysis.

Claude’s paradigm shift 38 · Slight. Slight+ (38): little novelty of its own; relays and endorses Guyenet's case.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. Minor-plus (2): usefully steers readers away from Taubes's sugar thesis; limited durable footprint.
