Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health defends his position that fat is not the cause behind North America’s obesity epidemic, but rather that fat may be a key to mitigating many of the problems cause by a poor, carbohydrate rich diet. Taubes discusses how refined carbohydrates are the elephant in the room that health officials fail to acknowledge as the root cause of many ailments associated with a Western diet.
