This is one of the more impressive reviews of "Good calories, Bad Calories". This excellent blog debunks Gary Taubes research.

Here's a quote from the link -

"Lies, Damned Lies, and Gary Taubes
I honestly did not expect to find near as many misleading quotes, misrepresentation of studies, or outright fabrication as I did in Good Calories, Bad Calories. I mean Taubes writes for The New York Times for Christ’s sake – arguably the most prestigious and most influential newspaper in the history of the world.
Nearly every single time I bothered to check a reference made in Good Calories, Bad Calories I found that Taubes had at best taken something out of context or at worst completely misrepresented a study. Not kidding. Here are a few examples beginning with the more anodyne." (Emphasis Added)
