I'm a big fan of Taubes too. I'm currently incorporating all recent experiments on fructose metabolism into Taubes' carb hypothesis. So far the fructose hypothesis fits beautifully. I'm re-reading GCBC in the light of my new knowledge of fructose and it's truly an eye opener
More research is needed of course, but it's pretty conclusive so far.
