Here are a number of lengthy critiques of Taubes' theories, which are not supported by the full spectrum of available evidence, by various individuals:

There's also this classic "pasta-bomb" of macronutrient<->weight loss evidence that was originally compiled by u/eric_twinge if you want some more:

Gary Taubes has stated that even overwhelming evidence against his theories would not persuade him that they are wrong. He is not a scientist - He is a writer with a pet theory that isn't supported by science unless you exclude all the science that proves it wrong.

This is a dick question, but I still really want to know:

You look like you have never lifted or done strenuous exercise a day in your life, and this is notion is supported by the evidence that you somehow got rhabdo just from doing 150 bicep curls. What exactly do you plan to do with your Exercise Science degree that a reasonable person would take you seriously in?

Hey guys. I just want to tell you all that a few years ago, BMS helped me get through a really difficult time in my life. I had some really shitty things going on and was suffering from panic attacks in the middle of the night. A friend of mine introduced me to BMS around that time and I burned through Seasons 1 and 2 in about a week. I enjoyed the atmosphere and humor of the show so much that it helped me take a step away from all of the depression by living vicariously through Thad and Alex's exploits. It helped me fall asleep at night by giving me something comforting to listen to until I dug myself out and my life improved.

I'm living a happier life today in part because BMS helped get me through some rough times and I'm so glad that you're doing this today because it gives me the chance to say thank you.
