Longread #105 -- Salt -- 7/2/2012
Gary Taubes has spent years challenging conventional wisdom about the causes of obesity and diabetes (such as in Longread #32 in which he argues that these problems are caused by consumption of carbohydrates and not fat). In this article, he takes on the conventional wisdom about salt. Studies in the field of nutrition can be extremely difficult to conduct, and it is refreshing to read a quality writer like Taubes who asks difficult questions about what we really know.
