NuSi was never going to work. They had ideals that were almost impossible to stick to. I would have loved to see them succeed :-(.

I spend all day every day, looking at the effects that sugar has on people, and what there diet is doing to them, I work with a workforce who is unable to register there own weight issues, and refuse to believe the obvious in front of them, and refuse to even think of bucking a trend. So continue to preach moderation, and calorie cutting.

One day I hope to have a billionaire backer that will allow me to conduct high level meaningful research! But until then I hope that the likes of Taubes carries on going .
