TFP #002 - Gary Taubes Pt 1: Bad Science, Lost Knowledge & Funding Bias

In Part 1 of this episode of The Feldman Protocol, Dave Feldman sits down with renowned science journalist Gary Taubes, author of groundbreaking books including "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and "The Case Against Sugar." This first part explores Gary's four-decade journey from physics journalism to becoming one of the most influential critics of nutritional research. The conversation delves deep into the philosophy of science itself, examining why he believes nutrition research has failed so spectacularly. Gary shares his evolution from covering physics breakthroughs at CERN to exposing the fundamental flaws in epidemiological studies that have shaped dietary guidelines for generations. Dave and Gary discuss the challenges of falsifiability in nutrition science, the dangers of emotional investment in hypotheses, and why the field attracts researchers more interested in confirmation than discovery. Gary provides a case for scientific skepticism, and how institutional biases, funding pressures, and cognitive blind spots have led to decades of misguided public health advice that may have caused more harm than good.
