The main reason for the massive outbreak of obesity is modern “short stalk high yield wheat” which bears no relation to wheat as we knew it back in the 1950s. In actual fact it is so far removed from what wheat was back then that it is doubtful if it is legal to call it wheat.
And this is why I have a hard time trusting Gary Taubes to produce unbiased research on obesity. The above statement actually hasn’t been proven. Not by a long shot. But it is Gary Taubes business to claim that it has been.
