Susan wrote: I'm a fan of Taubes, but is he really that focused on insulin, without regard for the role of excess cortisol in fat accumulation? Hardly anyone pays attention to dietary effects on the rest of the endocrine system yet. Surely, someone on this newsgroup has gotten the book by now and can do a better job of responding. Not yet. I've got it on reserve at the library so will have it soon though. -- http://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ |

Hardly anyone pays attention to dietary effects on the rest of the endocrine system yet. Coupled with quite negative reactions pointed at those who do pay attention to other hormone feedback loops. Heck, even paying attention to glucagon tends to draw flames. Insulin, glucagon, T3, leptin, cortisol. Each with progressively fewer studies about fat metabolism, or at least fewer studies that get applied to nutrition. |
