Gary Taubes is an American science journalist and author who focuses on nutrition, obesity, and the evidence behind conventional dietary advice.

Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Gary Taubes built his career at the intersection of science, skepticism, and narrative. Educated first in the sciences and then in journalism, he earned an S.B. in applied physics from Harvard in 1977, an M.S. in engineering from Stanford in 1978, and an M.S. in journalism from Columbia in 1981. His earliest books, Nobel Dreams and Bad Science, were not about diet at all; they examined the culture of scientific discovery and error. In the early part of his career he wrote across disciplines for Discover, Science, and The New York Times Magazine, before shifting in the mid-1990s toward public health, nutrition, and obesity. A major turning point came with his 2001 Science article “The Soft Science of Dietary Fat” and his 2002 New York Times Magazine piece “What If It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie?,” which made him a prominent public voice in the modern diet debate.
