Frankly, of all the world-view shattering studies that Gary Taubes introduces in GCBC, the Bellevue experiment is the one that was most fascinating to me.

My next door neighbor is a biochemistry professor at the U, specializing in diseases of horses.

Horses are not humans. But you'd think he'd have heard of the Bellevue experiment, right? I mean...biochemistry! Nope. We had a nice conversation about it last summer, while we were weeding our respective gardens. He thought it as interesting as I had.
