I agree with you that 'more nutrients!' is not sound advice, but again, I never said anything like that, not even implicitly.
Human biochemistry is indeed very complicated. That's exactly why I responded to ChrisHallquist's remark about 'sugar being bad', because I feel that that is vastly oversimplifying the issues at hand. For instance, simple sugars like fructose exist in fruit, and not necessarily in small amounts either. Yet I don't think he would argue that you should avoid all fruit.
I am not arguing against you...
Well, ChristHallquist is reading Taubes and for Taubes insulin is the devil, along with the carbs leading to it :-/
What do you mean by small amounts? In the context of Taubes claiming that people are drinking soda because they don't realize it's unhealthy, this is the amount you're comparing it with. (For comparison, that's the amount in fruits.)
