As I am spending more time working on my upcoming book, Calorie Clarity: Entropic Thoughts on a Hot Topic, I have had a bit less time for blogging of late. I don't know what it is about this calorie debate, but just when you think the latest scheme to convince you that calories don't count has been beaten back, another huckster comes flying down the poop slide regurgitating the crap they swallowed on the way down. Apologies to those who have eaten recently. I use the term huckster because my name was used in vain in an exchange with one of the best hucksters in the low carb sphere, Dr. Mike Eades.
Who? If you're asking that question, congratulations, you've either forgotten everything you've ever read on his blog or never read it at all. Either of which would be a good thing. Eades imagines himself a scientist in a doctor's coat and apparently still tweets his pearls of critical thinking wisdom. Yeah, I'm being snarky because, well, it's a goose gander thing ... or is there a black swan needing some love somewhere? Now a little while ago now, Tim Noakes gave leave of his own critical thinking skills and jumped on the LC "science" wagon. A couple of days ago, Noakes tweeted a link to a 2007 post by Dr. Eades hailing it as an example of "supreme logic" in the (for some reason ongoing) debate over calories.
