Yes, the Stefansson all-meat trial. Granted, it's only two subjects. But then the hypothesis says everybody would suffer from eating lots of meat. "Everybody" includes those two men. Then there's the list of low carb studies on Andreas Eenfeldt's website, DietDoctor:

Low carb diets admittedly contain more meat than low fat diets. Low carb diets are better for all things measured, therefore the hypothesis that eating lots of meat is bad for us is refuted.
I think Taubes was being sarcastic here. As in, he was saying that's what we all believe. He does that a lot.
-edit- Scratch that last bit. I read "Taubes wrote this". It's just a comment to the article, not in the article itself.
