Taubes on new evidence in the carbohydrate debate

From the NYT. Taubes is the favored nutritional science guru of the paleo diet crowd, or so I am told.

I am not a corner solution guy (at least when it comes to what I eat) but I have been moving my interior solution (now there's a pun to write home about) in the direction of the paleo diet thanks to the prompting of some of my economist friends who have pursued it more seriously and lost, and then kept off, a lot of weight.  My personal experience is that it leads to slow and fairly effortless weight loss.
