While I agree that the topic of metabolism is very complex, I don't think eating for good nutritional value needs to be anything but simple.
I can no longer read Guyenet either. When he was a grad student he was open minded and posted a lot of interesting stuff. But he seems to want to be known as the expert on something, and chose palatability as the cause of all metabolic problems. He is guilty of exactly the same blinders-on closed-mind pursuit that he accuses Taubes (sugar/insulin) and Keys (fat) of, but worse.
