Name: Wendy Pogozelski on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: SUNY GeneseoComments: Ms. Parker-Pope's article was really excellent in many respects. I applaud her honesty and her citations of some important studies as well as her superb writing style. The insulin-obesity axis is so well-established, however, that the public NEEDS to know about it. While dietary needs can vary from person-to-person, depending on age, sex, lifestyle, etc., and there is not a one-size-fits-all optimum diet, the role of insulin in weight gain is solid science. What is most telling is the fact that so many physicians have switched to advising their patients to restrict carbohydrates and raise fat in the diet, based on positive results in the short-term AND long-term. Also, this approach is backed up by our understanding of the biochemistry of insulin.Flag

Name: Pam Young on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Gary's book changed my life!Comments: Six months ago, I was in “maintenance†after losing 35 pounds the calories-in-calories-out method and was starting to gradually gain it back like Ms. Pope described in her article. After reading Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes, I embarked on a high fat and restricted carbohydrate diet. The only negative was that I quit exercising (I was walking five miles six days a week 1,100 feet in elevation). I’ve increased my calorie intake of about 1,000 calories more a day and I’m not burning the 500 calories each day on my walk. If I were counting calories I should weigh 195 pounds or have gained 75 pounds in these six months and instead I weigh 135 and my weight has remained constant with no hunger ever.Flag

Name: Professor Timothy Noakes OMS, MBChB, MD, DSc, PhD (hc), FACSM, (hon) FFSEM (UK) on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Department of Human Biology, University of Cape Town, South AfricaComments: The cause of obesity is well known. It occurs in those with insulin resistance (carbohydrate intolerance) when they eat more than about 80 grams of carbohydrate per day. As one with insulin resistance I have been able to return my body to my adolescent weight, to exercise vigorously and to reverse my pre-diabetic state by rigorously restricting my carbohydrate intake and eating as much fat and protein as I like. This personal experience confirms what Gary Taubes and others have described in their books and scientific works.Flag

Name: Wenhong Cao, M.D. on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Department of Nutrition, The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillComments: I think you need to emphosize that maintaining energy balance is still the number one priority in fighting obesity and its many associated health problems. Modification of food components such as reduction of carbds can greatly help maintain the energy balance through insulin. Specifically, less carbs lead to less insulin secretion, more stable blood glucose, and then less hunger and less foof intake in addition to the lower anabolism (including lipogenesis) and higher catabolism (including fat oxidation). There is another criticval point here that has not previously been recognized and we have just discoverred: Ingestion of carbs and fat together may lower our balance set point likely through insulin-mediated reduction of metabolic rate. That means you do not need to ingest absolutely more calories than others to become positive energy imbalance and obese if you ingest too much carbs.Flag

Name: C J Hunt on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Hunt Thompson Media, LLCComments: Dear Editor NY Times, As one of the few leading print publications remaining in the U.S. with an ability to inform and educate thousands of readers with the most up to date and fully inclusive science affecting our health, I hope you take this opportunity to publish this thoughtful and important response to "The Fat Trap." Doing so would not only be a great service to the many people suffering from overweight, obesity and related chronic disease, but also help keep alive the trust the public gives to publications such as yours to be as fully accurate as possible on any subject you cover. Sincerely, CJ Hunt Hunt Thompson Media, LLCFlag

We know insulin resistance is straightforward and the treatment is straightforward. Too simple and not as sexy as leptin injections for the article to get attention or published, I suspect.Flag

Name: Ann M. Childers, MD on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Member, Nutrition & Metabolism Society, and ASBPComments: Mr. Taubes provides a persuasive rebuttal to "The Fat Trap," worthy of our support. In recent decades Americans embraced a diet once reserved for fattening meat pigs and other livestock, placing human health, productivity and our economy in peril. Even prior to 1912 Cornell University reported optimal obesity gains in swine (omnivores, like us) when fed with corn, kafir corn and grain middlings (carbohydrates) plus skim milk (low fat). We must reverse this trend by reducing carbohydrates and increasing natural fats if we are to rescue the health of our nation.Flag

Name: Richard Nikoley on Jan 5, 2012Affiliation: Nutrition & Health Blogger, FreetheAnimal.comComments: An emphasis on "Real Food" that excludes modern processed foods in boxes, bags & bottles based on grains, sugar, and industrial vegetable and seed oils will go a long way towards fat loss and improved health. The first way is by a reduction of carbohydrate intake to more moderate levels. The second is in optimizing health by the increased nutrient density derived from animal and whole plant sources. Toward that second point, I encourage anyone to spend time on FitDay or similar online resources, comparing the nutrition in equivalent caloric portions of grains to animal sources. You might conclude that malnutrition is likely another factor in the obesity epidemic.Flag

We have a clear solution to the obesity epidemic (and the associated health complications) in a low-carbohydrate diet. Failure on the parts of the medical establishment and media to recognize the evolutionary and genetic elements of these diseases is onerous in and of itself, but for these entities to make non-scientific recommendations and ignore the literature...it would seem to border on behavior necessitating legal action.Flag -
