    Wishful thinking circa 2019: we'll see an editorial series by the shouldering much of the blame for the ill-conceived thinking on their last 50 years (and counting) reporting on diet, health and weight.

    More signs of the paradigm shifting. From a oped by on food insecurity: "Our success with carbohydrates, however, has had a serious downside: a worldwide plague of obesity, diabetes and other diet-related diseases."

    More evidence that people are paying attention to the idea that the century-old energy balance hypothesis of obesity -- calories in, calories out -- may be just... wrong.

    IU's in the NYT Upshot Column on biases in science. Nice choice of examples -- salt and fat. (We'll excuse him the vice verse.)

    Another sign that people (particularly physicians) are paying attention.

    Takeaways from the year in nutrition at the NYT: if you're human, low carb seems a good idea; mice should do low fat. And time your eating. Other species are still up in the air.

    I'm a little skeptical about the fried foods and the "overeating", but the Coca Cola sounds about right. A 150-year-old line of research on diseases of western diets and lifestyles continues with a consistent observation.

    Just read Dirt to Soil: One Family's Journey into Regenerative Agriculture. Highly recommend it. I thought regenerative agriculture would make a great NYT Magazine article. Then I realized already wrote it.

    . asks in the NYT whether the time has come to study whether diets (ketogenic?) can heal us. Yes, it is. Another sign of paradigms shifting: mainstream medicine contemplates the once unthinkable.

    Submit your comment! US Nat'l Insts of Health has a draft nutrition plan for next 10 yrs. Does not MENTION low-carb diets as an area of research. Head of NIH nutrition dept. says our post is misleading--you be the judge. Most importantly, submit a comment!

    Think of it as a scientific experiment not a diet trial. Critical patient-important outcomes are direct implications of whether adiposity is regulated by excess calories or insulin & so carbs. The 2 hypotheses make different predictions for this clinical trial/experiment.

    As Clifford might have said, from Louis Newburgh and Ancel Keys onward, these researchers and authorities acquired their belief and then passed them on to us, "not by honestly earning it in patient investigation, but by stifling [their] doubts.”

    I'm grateful to for suggesting I read William Kingdon Clifford and The Ethics of Belief. . It's a reminder why we all too easily get angry at the well-intentioned authorities who changed our dietary beliefs on insufficient evidence.

    Thanks . I was busy procrastinating and so re-read this myself. A few of my comments make me cringe, but I think it's still worth reading. We discussed much of the context and the subtext to GCBC; specifically what it means to do good science.
