Gary Taubes: Catching up on lost time - Part II


For Part 1, go HERE.

When last we left off, the subject was the food reward/palatability hypothesis of obesity and why I find it so unconvincing and problematic.

This post is going to address that issue by first discussing three new papers published on the subject of sugar. Then I’m going to ask a lot of questions, hoping at least some of the answers will be obvious. All three papers are from Peter Havel and his collaborators at U.C. Davis and Vanderbilt; all three looked at the metabolic effect of the fructose-component of sugar, while one of them one also looked at the effect of sugar itself in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
