WOW, thanks (not) Jimmy for your characterization of me as a low carb skeptic. I'm not. I'm a skeptic of the so-called science.
{Stuff in these parentheses were updated ~2:40 pm 1/21/11 ... Seems I'm being taken to task a bit over at Jimmy's blog for "trashing" him when apparently I should be thanking him profusely. I did thank him in an email, at the end of my interview, and previously on this blog, but I did neglect to do so once again here. Probably because at the time of this post I was a bit miffed by Jimmy's lead ins in the podcast and what I consider mis-characterizations of me. Kevin over in the comments who actually writes the show notes has claimed authorship for part of this so I won't blame Jimmy for that. Thanks Kevin for correcting that. I have since been labeled a "taunter" and essentially had words put into my mouth by Jimmy himself such as fraud though I'm not sure I ever used those words. Anywho, there's no need to waste good cyberink on minor quibbles. I do thank Jimmy for the opportunity and commend him for bringing voices counter to low carb dogma to the wider audience. So, I'll leave the rest of this intact.}
I don't really appreciate how Jimmy characterized me as anti-low carb on his blog either:
Coming up Monday, we’ll hear from an enthusiastic anti-low-carb blogger who calls herself CarbSaneto talk about why she thinks bestselling author Gary Taubesis a fraud and that the low-carb diet is not the whole story. Take a listen for yourself and decide whether she has a point or not.
I guess your headlines might generate more hits which is fine with me. Hopefully more will see the truth.
I heard this for the first time today too which made me nervous as I typed this post out. Just listened. I'm OK with it except for the nervous laughter at times. Better than getting a case of the Ummms I suppose.
Some links {fixed them, thanks flo!} to things I discussed with Jimmy with regards to GCBC that were the impetus for the interview:

{Edited to add} This is the post that got this ball rolling: Glyceroneogenesis v. Taubes. The question on that Reshef paper remains unanswered by Taubes.

Have at me gang!
