I read his book "Why we get fat..." Very informative.
The interview is regarding his most recent book.
Now that the world has caught up with him, he is no longer the outcast.
Taubes details how this pattern of influence ramped up in the 1960s and '70s, as the industry funneled money to scientists and public health officials to combat the notion that sugar was a unique cause of obesity and chronic illness. One of those recipients was Fred Stare, whose work as the founder and chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health was supported financially for decades by sugar purveyors like General Foods. The most public defender of sugar, Stare repeatedly asserted, even as late as 1985, that it is not "remotely true that modern sugar consumption contributes to poor health."
