I'd say that his critique of low-fat dietary guidelines is a separate issue from the carbohydrate-insulin hypothesis of obesity, which he has argued for and which I'm asking about here.

For an idea to be considered rational and scientifically valid, it must be falsifiable -- that is, we must be able to imagine a result which would cause us to revise or abandon the idea. You have taken the position that it is specifically an increase in the consumption of carbohydrates, not merely an increasing energy surplus, which is the driving force behind the rising levels of obesity.
What specific experimental design, outcome or observation would you have to see to make you abandon this position?
