I don't, I have a BS in Biology and these kind of disruptive ideas are exciting to me. After spending years studying biochemistry and nutrition, I realize that a lot of evidence is out there is crap.

Nutrition isn't some old-guard field with a hundred years of solid decided science weighing it down. In my opinion it's like genetics, a fast moving, exciting field full of interesting ideas and disruptive possibility.

Quite frankly, our understanding of the human GI and human nutrition is still rather pathetic, and a lot of the "common wisdom" is based on misinformation and bad evidence.

Of course it is a hard problem.

It is a mix of politics and economics and ethics and a very small probability of doing any real experimentation on other people.

So far I have more faith in Internet communities doing self-experimentation than with big corporation-sponsored studies.

The novel aspect here is that his experimental methodology looks promising; not that he has some magic silver bullet.
