Gary Taubes:

"Fructose most lipogenic carbohydrate (and sweetest), converted most efficiently to glycerol-3-phosphate (enzyme)"
Here is text from his book Good Calories, Bad Calories explaining the lecture video above step by step:

The medical establishment was wrong for 30 years; and prescribed a high carb diet which led to diabetes and obesity. What kind of a track record is that? This is failure that boggles the mind.

at 9:10 GOOD CALORIES meal, fowl, fish, eggs, cheese and green leafy vegetables (doubts about whole grains)
BAD CALORIES everything that ends in "ose" - and bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, sweets, sodas, beer, cereals - all are fattening, raise your insulin levels and thus are inflammatory and responsible for the Diseases of Civilization - Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, diviticulosis, alzheimers, high blood pressure...
Read Taubes' new book Why We Get Fat - and What to Do About It

at 4:40 From about 1870 to 1920, diabetes rates in America increased 10-15 fold at the same time sugar intake was increasing. In the 1870s a way to test urine for diabetes came about - life insurance came into vogue and one was given a test for diabetes... Before 1921 when insulin was discovered, diabetes was a death sentence. Elliott Joslin became the God of Diabetes in America, pioneered the use of insulin for diabetes, he didn't think sugar caused diabetes and popularized this belief.

at 1:12 Harvard researchers find that chronically raised insulin levels are responsible for Alzheimers. So these researchers say, "Maybe we can come up with a drug that reduces insulin levels" instead of JUST GOING LOW CARB!!!!
I went low carb and in 4 mos (without exercise, Taubes shows you don't need it to lose weight and in fact it's not effective for that) my TGs went from 105 to 54, my HDL from 52 to 65. Weight 167 to 150.
Sweets? Have a bit of super dark choc and Atkins bars
