There was a wave of spam some years back for a type of bread that supposedly drastically reduced hunger. So if the spam is to be believed... which of course it isn't. But I'm curious to know if anyone has tried it.
Lol, of course not. People have been chasing the chimera of nutritionism for decades and perhaps more. i.e. the idea that if you simply add or subtract some component to or from your diet, you can then eat tasty food ad libitum and get and stay thin. Taubes' theory is just another example of nutritionism. The micronutrient hypothesis is another example.
