Ep 3: Gary Taubes - How Broken Science Led to an Obesity Epidemic The Broken Science Podcast

In this week's episode join The Broken Science Initiative and Gary Taubes as we discuss the errors pervasive in nutrition research. Taubes and Kaplan talk about how Taubes’ groundbreaking research has changed the public’s awareness and yet is still met with push back from the media.
The original interview was taped in 2019 for the Empowered Health Podcast with BSI’s own Emily Kaplan. Taubes, the renowned author of "Good Calories, Bad Calories," "Why We Get Fat," and "The Case Against Sugar," has undertaken the arduous process of meticulously analyzing the research and scrutinizing every footnote to discern between reliable advice and unsubstantiated claims. Prepare to gain valuable insights from Taubes' and Kaplan’s deep dive into the world of scientific literature and their shared quest to separate fact from fiction.
