And Gary Taubes is by no means a relatively unknown writer hor...

(From your wiki link)
Taubes has won the Science in Society Journalism Award of the National Association of Science Writers three times and was awarded an MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellowship for 1996-97. He is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation independent investigator in health policy.

Taubes studied applied physics at Harvard University and aerospace engineering at Stanford University (MS, 1978). After receiving a master's degree in journalism at Columbia University in 1981, Taubes joined Discover magazine as a staff reporter in 1982.



To each his own bah...

In the meantime, I will happily eat my eggs and pork bellies

Honestly to me, scientific studies are like statistics. Both can be fine tuned to show what the author wants to show, which is a form of biasness. I've had my fair share while majoring in acturial science. Please don't get be wrong. I'm not insinuating that Taubes did anything of that sort but just highlighting that fact. If you realise, all his awards are journalism related. This is a medical issue, no?

I hope you do realise that the blogpost you shared only tells you the story from 1 person's perspective? With sentences like "But according to my source who was in attendance to hear her speech, you could tell she had an obvious discontent with the nutritional recommendations that are now being thrust upon Americans" Now, how is that a credible source?

You can park along the road side just before the place or at other lorongs. It's a private housing estate so FOC.

No worries, it's always good to get another opinion...hahah

Well, he got his award because he was rigorous i.e. his pieces were very well researched...

So if he's writing about nutrition, then I assumed that he has done the same rigorous research and after reading his book, I think he has...

Yup, but new research are showing that the recommendations are not based on science...

Anyway, based on my n=1 experiment, it's working very well for me

Provided they don't draw the silly single white line along the road...hahah

How about carey going to do a health check-up now and maybe a year or 2 later as a reference for us to compare? The check-up should include results as such HDL, LDL, VLDL, visceral fat, total body fat, BMR, biological age, etc.

he'll tell u forget about the amount of HDL/LDL/VLDL.... afterall cholesterol is not bad.... so is pointless for those health checks to measure all that cholesterol..

But it will be useful for those who thinks otherwise.

 

[kunoichi]

stop. it. thanks.

 

[twtan14]

To each his own, whether one chose to believe or not. Lets not start arguing, OK?

 

[kyma]

This is just a discussion. Isn't this online forums are for? BTW, this is off-topic anyway.

Nope - I am saying that the numbers by themselves don't mean anything - it is the ratios that are more important...

High total cholesterol is not a good gauge of health - if you have high HDLs, then it's only logic that total cholesterol will go up

And LDLs is just an estimation and is very dependent on your triglycerides - but if you have very good (low) triglycerides, then the formula wrongly estimates your LDLs

However as long as your triglycerides are very low, chances are your LDLs are the large fluffy stuff

As for Kyma's query, I measure my cholesterol levels every 6 months

Whether you believe it's good or not, not my business lol
