How popular is Taubes and in what kind of a crowd? Google didn't help much.

I tried to read GCBC about a year ago since it was recommended to me here but never finished it, because I wouldn't have had time to check the sources and continuing without checking would have been quite useless. I hope you do a good job with the sources and people jailbreak them if necessary.

He's referenced a lot by paleo and ketogenic diet bloggers. Not sure if he holds much of an audience outside of there.

...continuing without checking would have been quite useless.

Wise, you are.

Luckily, with a couple exceptions, the key sources have turned out to be available online.
