Bad sugar or bad journalism? An expert review of “The Case Against Sugar”.

http://www.stephanguyenet.com/bad-s...-against-sugar/

There was an interesting rebuttal from someone with Type I diabetes, saying Type Is understood the best about metabolism, carbs and sugar.

Anybody read The Hungry Brain? I don't quite know why Stephan Guyenet rejects the insulin hypothesis, or understand his own, but then I don't read his blog hardly. According to one reviewer on Amazon:

Quote:
Here is a quick summary of his advice for readers: 1. Don't eat calorie-dense foods. 2. Move more. 3. Get more sleep. 4. Reduce stress.

Thus if you need more detailed advice, then don't buy this book.



I think those are valid points, and obvious. It seems to me that the insulin hypothesis is equally obvious, at least for some. Maybe the theoretical differences come down to individualistic differences in bodies. I've been pleasantly surprised to read more and more advice lately that there is no one diet best for everyone.
