TFP #003 - Gary Taubes Pt 2: Publication Bias, "Hyperpalatable" debate & GLP-1 Myths

In Part 2 of this episode of The Feldman Protocol, Dave Feldman continues his conversation with renowned science journalist Gary Taubes, diving deeper into the institutional forces that perpetuate flawed nutritional science. This second part examines Gary's perspective on why paradigm shifts face such fierce resistance, exploring the career consequences researchers face when challenging established theories. The conversation addresses the famous "are we all idiots?" question from Gary's Pennington lecture, revealing how scientists inherit paradigms without questioning their foundations. Dave and Gary discuss the peer review process as both protector and barrier to innovation, the politics of academic publishing, and why researchers become emotionally invested in defending their work. Gary argues that the scientific establishment has abandoned true hypothesis testing in favor of confirmation bias, while exploring controversial topics like carnivore diets, GLP-1 drugs, and the sustainability myth. The discussion reveals how institutional pressures, career incentives, and cognitive biases create a system where scientists function more as advocates than investigators, potentially causing decades of harm through misguided dietary recommendations.🔗 CONNECT WITH DAVE FELDMAN:Main Channel: @realDaveFeldmanX/Twitter: x.com/realDaveFeldman Instagram: instagram.com/realDaveFeldman
