So far, I've only seen fairly positive and respectful discussions of the book. Here's one from NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/02/b...ary-taubes.html
Another on Vox, with interview with Taubes: http://www.vox.com/science-and-heal...inst-sugar-book
Quote:
Taubes: If you ask the question, “Why not sugar and refined grains?” particularly considering my other books, the answer is simple. Well, largely because of Southeast Asia — an entire continent of people who consume a lot of refined grains [i.e., white rice] and had low levels of obesity and diabetes until, like everyone else, they start eating a Western diet. Science is about explaining observations, and that’s an observation that requires explanation. One possibility is that I’m just wrong about the carbs. A second obvious possibility is that it’s the sugar, because these are populations that have, again, until recently, consumed exceedingly little sugar. And then, of course, there’s a host of other possible explanations as well.

Added meat in their diet is what the vegans say.
