Interesting link, teaser. I notice that Seth introduces himself as a former grad student at UWashington, the same institution where Stephen Guyenet obtained his PhD. I wonder if they are one and the same or perhaps he is a follower of Guyenet or Guyenet's advisor? He certainly seems to have an axe to grind against Atkins, Taubes and now Teicholz.

Teicholz addresses the fact that healthy people can be found eating diets of a wide range of fat levels; she says what unites them is the lack of sugar. After dissecting the so-called Mediterranean Diet (or the Mediterranean post-war Lenten and/or poverty diet), she suggests we all go back to our own personal "traditional diets". That seems like a sensible strategy if one can untangle what one's traditional diet might have been (difficult in North America as she points out).
